Hi folks,

I have a small LDAP setup running for centralized Linux authentication since years, using the NSS and PAM modules from PADL Software Pty Ltd.

A few weeks ago I found the nss-pam-ldapd from Arthur de Jong and found the architecture is promising and fixes some problems with the design of the PADL modules.

This project needs contributors, so if you

• have time
• know some C
• like LDAP
• have ideas
• can test

it would be nice to see you there.

I also contributed a line or two.

In some discussion about interfaces I followed, somebody said the wise words:

The only truly intuitive interface is the nipple

I’ve never seen it that way…

UPDATE: http://www.greenend.org.uk/rjk/2002/08/nipple.html does some research on it

Since a week or so I replaced my old “home server” with some new hardware. Phenom II Quadcore with 8GB RAM and a Debian Lenny, fun!
