Hi, I've been using dovecot 0.99.14 for a few years, with libpam-ldap and libnss-ldap, and never experienced any problem with those. I expect to soon switch to dovecot 1.0rc15 (or whatever gets available in Debian Etch, hopefuly dovecot 1.0), but I've seen some warnings against dovecot+libnss-ldap... Is the problem with libnss-ldap a recent problem (I mean it was not a problem with older dovecot such as my 0.99.14)? Is it still a problem even with 1.0rc22? Is there any hope to have it fixed before 1.0? Note that while most of the users I have to deal with are in my LDAP directory, a few ones are not and are in /etc/passwd. Hence, "userdb ldap" is probably not an option for me (and I'm quite happy with configuring all my servers with PAM and NSS). Cheers, Nicolas

Is there any hope to have it fixed before 1.0?No. The problem has always existed, and it can't be solved in Dovecot without completely redesigning dovecot-auth's PAM support. I probably will do that after 1.0 though. Anyway the RedHat people figured out the bug a week ago.
