Well, I found out after a while that NSS-modules are not supported before 5.1->. I could ofcourse just asked in /usr/ports/ned/nss_ldap/, which would give me the answer, instead of first upgrading from 4.8 to 5.0. Well, enough of nothing. I just wonder if anyone has any good sollution to my problem. Having 5.0-R(Had too many problems with 5.1-B1/B2 on this computer) and no support(might find a patch) for nss_modules, I wonder if anyone has found a good relatively stable sollution to my problem: I have a network containing >20 computers with different operating systems, mostly MSWindows-distros. All the computers authenticate against a samba server which maps their home_directory. Now, what I want to do( please feel free to give out a better sollution!) is to authenticate against LDAP. But without support of nss-modules I got the impression it is difficult to do so. I have managed to authenticate against LDAP on my test-box through login, but it does not give me a session - falls back on pam_unix. I have looked at radius too, and people are talking about using NIS for it also, but I'm quite unsure about this. Wow!, sorry about the long posting by the way. PS! I must reccomend reading "Starship Titanic" by Terry Jones while Im at it Sondre
