Wild guess: Tried adding linux versions of the ldap-client libraries?

Ok, I looked at the handbook and I think I see what needs to be done. I
need to get a linux installation, and copy the ldap-client and probably
the nss-ldap libraries to the compat linux tree. I would imaging I need
a linux installation compatible with the base linux of FreeBSD.

So has anyone tried this?

Actually, probably getting the requisite RPMs and installing them under
the linuxulator should be enough. That's how the ports system does it
too, after all.

Thanks. I'll give it a try.
