My current setup and reason to push for a NSS implementation for FreeBSD was to integrate my boxen into my companies Active Directory infrastructure. The short answer is that FreeBSD is in a productionable enough state to get account details out of LDAP if you can live with a couple of hiccups. Most noteably, statically linked binaries (like /bin/ls) won't know anything about accounts from LDAP. Are you planning on storing your passwords in LDAP? Personally, I'm using a Kerberos realm for the authentication piece and LDAP for account details. -gordon
