Well, libnss-ldap and libpam-ldap can both be compiled with specific configuration files (--with-ldap-conf-file).
Would it work to create a metapackage like ldap-config (much like krb5-config) that controls the configuration /etc/ldap-client.conf or something like that. Then lib{pam,nss}-ldap could depend on this. Would that adequately separate the OpenLDAP and PADL stuff? I don't think that they read 2 configuration files, there's only 1 fopen() call in libnss-ldap and libpam-ldap which reads whatever --with- ldap-conf-file was set to (/etc/ldap.conf) if nothing. -- libnss-ldap and libpam-ldap should use the same configuration file https://launchpad.net/bugs/17744 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
