nss-ldapd is a (glibc) NSS module for doing name lookups to an LDAP server. This module allows retrieval of information about Unix accounts, groups, hosts, and other information from an LDAP directory. It is a fork from the nss_ldap module to do some architectural changes. This implementation splits the functionality into an NSS part and a local daemon to do the lookups. This works around a number of problems in the original implementation. License: GNU Lesser General Public License (LGPL) Changes: This release adds support for the uniqueMember LDAP attribute, using the module with the compat service, groups with a large number of members, and implements the initgroups() function to allow username to groups lookups. A bug in the parsing of the map option, a bug in the reporting of communication failures between the daemon and the NSS library, and a problem parsing userPassword values were fixed. Several compatibility improvements were made to make porting to other LDAP libraries and platforms easier, and general testing and debugging of problems was improved.
