heh, so is that how to properly hijack a thread :)
I question whether Red Hat (or linux in general) has fixed the problem
that I have experienced from 7.x all the way through 9 so far where if
the "ldap server" is unreachable, not even *local* users or root can
login. The system hangs while looking up group information appearantly?
I have seen little hacks in my bug reports, but have any of those been
implemented into the mainstream yet?

Do you have libuser whipped into shape now?
It would great to have functioning luser* and lgroup* utilities.
Do they support startTLS?
