Hi Kirill, The short answer is: There is no way of doing what you want, directly. The long answer is: You need something like nsswitch to be able to use LDAP directly. There was a port of NetBSD's nsswitch implementation to -STABLE and -CURRENT a while ago by Jacques Vidrine. Unfortunately it didn't work with LDAP for a few reasons, and he doesn't have the time to rework it so it does. See <http://www.nectar.cc/zope/freebsd/nsswitch>; for details. An alternative would be to use YP on your FBSD machines with a LDAP to YP bridge for the master. PADL <http://www.padl.com/>; have a commerical LDAP/YP bridge which you could use. HTH, Mike. -- Mike Gratton <mike@vee.net>, <http://web.vee.net/>; "Every motive escalate."
