I am working on splitting the libnss-ldapd package. In fact, some of the work is already done: http://arthurdejong.org/svn/nss-ldapd/nss-pam-ldapd/ http://arthurdejong.org/viewvc/nss-ldapd/nss-pam-ldapd/ This changes the current source package nss-ldapd into nss-pam-ldapd and splits into the binary packages nslcd, libnss-ldapd and libpam-ldapd (it also adds a PAM module which is also used in nssov). Some more information and background can be found here: http://lists.debian.org/debian-devel/2009/05/msg00526.html http://lists.debian.org/debian-devel/2009/06/msg00045.html There will probably be one or two more releases in the 0.6 series with the old packaging and with 0.7 make the switch to the new name and packaging. Before this can happen the new packaging should be tested more, password changing through PAM should be implemented, the changes need to be synchronized to the OpenLDAP tree and some documentation needs to be written. If you want to help you are more then welcome to test what is already there (you should probably already increase the package version and add "Conflicts: libnss-ldapd (< 0.7.0)" to the nslcd package. -- -- arthur - adej...@debian.org - http://people.debian.org/~adejong --
