Looks like it was during RHL 6. It's hard to find a complete RH mirror to be more accurate than that.
That's plenty far back. My client is running RH7.x and I don't want to have to upgrade him just to be able to run LDAP. I already have to upgrade his Sun machines (but that's actually going to be a good thing in the end).
Also, can /etc/nsswitch.conf make use of LDAP resources?
Yes.
Great!
If one is to believe the comments in that file, then LDAP does not appear to play a role at all in /etc/nsswitch.conf switched services.
That's probably because the LDAP NSS module isn't part of glibc.
It's developed by PADL, and included by Red Hat in the nss_ldap package.
Ah, OK, of course! Forgot about the PADL stuff...
Is this enabled for general lookups already, or would there be a bit here
or there that I'd need to flip ahead of time?
Thanks!! Ken
