I now have 2 different Linux applications that refuse to start because getpwuid_r() won't return a user ID. Both acroread7 and realplayer are dead in the water for me. I'm using pam_ldap authentication, which works great for all my native FreeBSD apps. How do I get the Linux apps to perform a similar lookup now? I'm not seeing any pam_ldap or nss_ldap linux ports, which would seem to mean that simply changing the nsswitch.conf file in the /compat/linux area won't do me much good. I could live without realplayer working, but acroread is a pretty critical application for my end users. It also looks like this will be a growing trend for Linux applications in the future. Do we need to port new Linux pam modules into play, or is there some simpler method for fixing this? Thanks, -- "When you come to a fork in the road....Take it" - Yogi Berra
