Intent to retire: nss_ldap

[Brian Wheeler]

on our RHEL6 servers I'm still using nss_ldap for the hosts database:  
we have a private network and I don't want to copy portions of 
/etc/hosts around to our servers and putting them into DNS isn't really 
an option for us.  I couldn't find an easy way to look up the data in 
ldap for that data so I just stuck with nss_ldap for all of the 
databases we needed.
