This is bad. Some nss support library is indeed needed. I'm using nss-pam-ldapd instead of nss_ldap. The configuration file is a bit different but it's a far more reliable alternative IMHO. For some reason, net/nss_ldap fails to build in the packaging environment: http://muscles.dragonflybsd.org/latest-failures/logs/errors/nss_ldap-1.265_10.log I have been able to build and install it locally from FreeBSD ports though. Something weird is going on here. -- Francois Tigeot
