Sorry to jump in the middle of this thread, but the nssov overlay sounds

very useful, something I would like to take advantage of, but I cannot seem to
find any documentation on it. How long has this been available (what release),
and where might I find more info?

It has not been released yet.
Just to clarify: the nssov overlay was first released in OpenLDAP 2.4.11, but it only had NSS support. The PAM support is currently only in CVS. 


You can check out the current code from CVS in
contrib/slapd-modules/nssov. You can browse it online here:

http://www.openldap.org/devel/cvsweb.cgi/contrib/slapd-modules/nssov/

The README and slapo-nssov.5 manpage will give you a better idea of what it does.
