Sorry for my ignorance, i am new to FreeBSD. i have tried to use it in the past ( 2years ago ) but decided to wait to till the nss_ldap support was added for nsswitch so i can use openldap. Now, when you say rebuild, how would i rebuild FreeBSD dynamically, or are you saying to rebuild the application that were statically linked dynamically ? I just checked the FreeBSD site and do not see any release 5.2
You might do best to sit back and wait a little while and try again. 5.2 is not available yet. I don't know what the current schedule is, exactly, but I'm guessing 3 months or so in the future.
To the get the dynamic root capability that Antoine spoke of, you'll need to update your 5.1 FreeBSD to the latest development sources, which can be rather dicey (especially if you're new to FreeBSD). If you want to try it, the docs are here: http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/cutting-edge.html
If you decide to try upgrading to -CURRENT to try this feature out, don't hesitate to ask this (or the [EMAIL PROTECTED]) list if you have problems, we'll help.
After you do the cvsup, but before doing the make steps, you'll need to create a custom /etc/make.conf to tell FreeBSD to build a dynamic root. Just create the file /etc/make.conf and put the line "WITH_DYNAMICROOT=true" in it (you can also add other build options to /etc/make.conf per the docs). Then run the make steps in the documentation.
Hope this helps.

I have gotten FreeBSD 5.1 to authenticate user remotely ssh ing to the box. They can log in, but when they log in, the system shows their userid instead of the username when you do a ps. this tells me something might be wrong with nss_ldap. but not sure what i am doing wrong.
I can do "id <username>" which it returns the user information.
You need to build FreeBSD with dynamic libraries...
It only works under -CURRENT with the "WITH_DYNAMICROOT=true" option in your make.conf.
I think it is supposed to be the default for 5.2-RELEASE.
