There are some plans to get this done, but it probably will not be for 5.x due to fundamental changes that have to occur in libc. I can recommend some alternatives if you are using Active Directory that I've implemented in my environments at work (basically ripping everything out of LDAP and shoving it into an NIS domain). If you are willing to spend some money on getting it done, please contact me. -gordon --cbsCxbAnPLQXdgdB Content-Type: application/pgp-signature Content-Disposition: inline -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.0.7 (FreeBSD) iD8DBQE98OJPRu2t9DV9ZfsRAmodAJ93LeqXIdpf0Pn0Ia/0fPC76pm4nwCgzjoF kcjng5A3qke11fYtV5HUBww= =vm0c -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --cbsCxbAnPLQXdgdB-- To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hackers" in the body of the message
