--- Comment #3 from Florian Weimer <fw at deneb dot enyo.de> ---
Note that by now, nss_ldap with its in-process LDAP processing is considered a
design mistake. The successor, nss_ldapd, performs all LDAP handling in a
dedicated daemon, so that the NSS module itself does not depend on any LDAP
libraries. This avoids symbol binding issues due to conflicting LDAP libraries.
(It also allows the client to use some secret not known to all local users to
authenticate to the LDAP server.)
