Hello,
I'm glad to post the link to the experimental version of the new 
BSD-licensed nss_ldap, that was written during SoC. It can be downloaded 
as a port from here:
http://www.rsu.ru/~bushman/nss_ldap/nss_ldap_bsd.tar.gz

nss_ldap_bsd currently supports "passwd", "group" and "services" nsswitch 
databases and rfc2307 schema. It's configuration file is mostly compatible 
with PADL's nss_ldap's configuration file.

Additional information about nss_ldap_bsd development can be found here:
http://wikitest.freebsd.org/NssLdapRewritten

The main goal of the nss_ldap_bsd is to be compatible and 
interchangeable with PADL's nss_ldap, but to be licensed under BSD 
license and to be more flexible and easily extendable. It is also possible 
that nss_ldap_bsd would be merged into the tree along with OpenLDAP.

Please try it and send me your comments and suggestions.

With best regards,
