Some distributions have packages for it but you should also be able to install from source. The NSS and PAM modules can be built separately. The nss-pam-ldapd homepage contains some documentation and downloads: http://arthurdejong.org/nss-pam-ldapd/ > I do not want to mess up a working authentication mechanism if I can > avoid it. Authentication is provided by the PAM module but also requires the NSS module to be functional. The NSS module provides home directory, shell, etc. Configuration of nss_ldap and pam_ldap varies per distribution (/etc/ldap.conf, /etc/nss_ldap.conf,...). For nss-pam-ldapd a single file /etc/nslcd.conf provides the configuration for both modules. -- -- arthur - arthur@arthurdejong.org - http://arthurdejong.org --
