[Fedora-directory-devel] Is there any client interface for Linux other than pam_ldap?

[Leroy Tennison]

The reason I ask is that the last time I looked at it I was 
disappointed.  The features seemed limited and rudimentary.  You had to 
configure the context in a local file and there was no way to 
dynamically supply a different one.  If there is a more robust 
alternative please let me know, I'd love to try it.  If not please 
consider this an enhancement request - the greatest directory server in 
the world isn't of great value if the client support is limited.  Thanks 
for any and all replies.

I don't know of any.  What are some of the features you would like to 
see in pam_ldap: the next generation?

From memory, SuSE has pam_unix2, which does some different things, but
I'm likewise unsure what the original poster is asking for.
