This would still be a problem, because there is no support for nss_ldap in
FreeBSD 4.x. To get LDAP working with 4.x, you would need a workaround that
translates user information into NIS or something that creates user-entries
in the local passwd file.

Support for nss_ldap/nsswitch.conf is available in FreeBSD 5.1-RELEASE or
newer.
