+
+It's been reported before, but basically the solution is to not use
+nss_ldap or pam_ldap but alternative packages nss-pam-ldapd and sssd.
+
+See the previous thread "nss-ldap missing" from 7th Feb.
+
+I set a machine up with these pkgs not that long ago.
+
+We do still need to update our tools to cope tho'.
