</I>
what is the real use of rootbinddn?
is there really any need to expose different information to NSS when
caller is uid 0?

also the idea of a proxy user is flawed, it gives just about the same
security of opening anonymous read access. With the added bonus that
changing the proxyuser password poses a risk of breaking things.

since the info exposed to NSS is no big secret we can cope with it, but
i prefer leaving nss to anonymous binds and adding on ldap server (at
the end of access control)

access to dn.subtree=&quot;dc=mageia,dc=org&quot;
