"Hi OpenBSD community!Sounds to me like an login_ldap module is needed for BSD style authentication. Which is the direction OpenBSD is heading instead of PAM. Is anyone interested in trying to code such a beasty?There were many discussions on this subject recently, but I still can't find an answer. So, why doesn't OpenBSD have PAM support, since FreeBSD, Linux and Solaris already do? What's the simplest & safest way to enable it on OpenBSD? I obviously need it for native LDAP (+Kerberos for really paranoid folks:))) authentication (Postfix, Courier, Samba etc).
WBR, ROR"

however, openbsd has BSD Auth, which itself is quite flexible and standard.
if you really want PAM, consider reading the docs and freshly (and cleanly and correctly) implementing it.

which is really easy, but the problem i encounter
is being able to retrieve the list of users in /etc/passwd, like nis does with the + line.
if anybody knows how to go around doing that...
