Alex, I don't see any such message in the linux port. It mentions NIS only. I've also seen over time this question pops up and the only answer is to provide a "hack" that sets up passwd at boot or such. This is a quick and easy solution to the problem. As for the port: what's involved with that? It's not exactly something that needs updating regularly. I'd say just have it in ports for those that happen to need it. All it needs to do is copy the pam files to the usr/lib dir under linux and a message to remind the admin to set ldap.conf and nsswitch.conf. So, how do I go about getting it in there? I have the files, but I haven't exactly mastered the makefiles under ports as yet (or in general, for that matter... :( ).
