I would like to request support for these 3 packages in Ubuntu main.
libnss-ldap
libpam-ldap
libpam-krb5
These packages are extremely important in an office environment with a
shared user base and Kerberos network. Proper integration and support of
these modules would be a major plus.
Current libnss-ldap and libpam-ldap are pretty good. They work fine.
libpam-krb5 has a few problems with it: it won't always create a ticket
cache. This is a major hurdle for adoption. I hacked around in the code
a bit about a half year ago on Debian, but was unable to devote the time
necessary to fix it.
libpam-krb5 is an interesting beast. There are a number of forks
floating around. Debian uses one, RedHat uses another that is almost
totally different (it works).
So. That's it. I would like to see these packages properly supported in
Ubuntu. Thanks!
