I agree with Zach's assessment of this. However, I believe that, since pam_ldap and nss_ldap do in fact use the OpenLDAP client libraries, they should pull config information from ldap.conf. They should ALSO pull their own config info from their respective files.
This probably would require code modifications to both pam_ldap and nss_ldap, as I suspect there is no provision to point them at two files at the same time. -- 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
