Hello,

I made some strange experiences in running OpenLDAP 2.4.11 on both i386 and amd64 architectures of the most recent FreeBSD 7.0-STABLE.

I already setup and run three servers (fourth is coming soon). Two of them are based on FreeBSD amd64, one is based on i386. The do have almost the same configuration, the same portrevision of both nss_ldap and pam_ldap I need to use (nss_ldap-1.257, pam_ldap-1.8.4), and, of course, the same OpenLDAP port (openldap-sasl-client-2.4.11,openldap-sasl-server-2.4.11) an the same SASL2 libraries taken from port (cyrus-sasl-ldapdb-2.1.22). So, this is the base on ALL boxes! Also the changes in /etc/pam.d/system, /etc/pam.d/sshd, /etc/pam.d/other and /etc/pam.d/passwd are exactly the same.
So, now the weird thing.

On all amd64-boxes I can config /etc/nsswitch.conf this way and it works:

passwd: compat
passwd_compat: ldap
group: compat
group_compat: ldap

The manpages do not reveal anything about 'ldap' is allowed (FreeBSD is in this case far behind anything else out the server market, a shame), I tried it and had success on all of my amd64-boxes. But using the same on the third i386-server fails. And now I'm asking myself what I've done magic or wrong or have overseen (a small piece in the chain of configurations) or is there indeed a difference between amd64 and i386 in handling this?

Thanks in advance,
Oliver
