anyone here know how I can access NSS information from a script?
I am trying to write some portable code (perl) which needs to identify
the LDAP server(s) that a particular client is using for NSS services
(passwd, hosts, etc.)
The problem is that nss and pam are configured by different files on
different platforms:
redhat: /etc/ldap.conf
sles: /etc/ldap.conf
debian: /etc/libnss-ldap.conf /etc/pam_ldap.conf
ubuntu: /etc/ldap.conf
irix: /etc/openldap/ldap.conf
solaris: /var/ldap/ldap_client_file (root access only)
I made an effort to figure out which os was running and parsing the
appropriate config file but was tripped up by the fact that debian and
ubuntu use different files (both have /etc/debian_version) and it doesnt
help with solaris.
Can I query nss directly?
