I saw that. I guess my question is whether a default nsswitch.conf file will be checked into /etc and /usr/share/examples/etc, or whether it will be left empty? I would expect that if this capability was working, that a default nsswitch.conf would be checked into /etc. Many admins may not know the system has this capability unless they see a copy of nsswitch.conf in /etc. My next question is related to nss_ldap. Are there plans to add some type of credentials caching daemon to speed up use of LDAP (or other database) when using nsswitch.conf? If the hooks are there, I would be willing to work on this myself.
