Re: status of nsswitch.conf in current?

[Richard Coleman]

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.

I noticed that there is a man page for "nsswitch.conf".  But there is no 
such file installed in /etc, nor is there an example copy in 
/usr/share/examples/etc.

I just cvsup'ed tonight (Thursday) and built world.  So, I'm up to date.

Please see the ``Default source lists'' section of the nsswitch.conf(5)
manpage that talks about this case.
