I am trying to setup LDAP and NSS/PAM authentication on my laboratory, but had some serious issues with nss_ldap (the system boot would lock-up when udev starts), so I was looking for alternatives when I found the nss-pam-ldap module (http://arthurdejong.org/nss-pam-ldapd/), which works great.
The problem is, we have three different nss-pam-ldap PKGBUILDs on AUR, and neither of them is good (no one has systemd service files, all of them are out of date, one doesn't even install correctly). I would maintain my own package (that is a mix of some of these packages), but since there is already three differents packages I choose to not do so (well, I can't even think of a appropriate name since all of them are taken).
So we have a problem here, I can maintain a package since it's of my own interest (at least until I discover how to use the nss_ldap module without problems), but I can't simple create another one. Here are the three nss-pam-ldap modules on AUR: http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=62383 http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=38167 http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=61149
I have deleted nslcd as the maintainer admitted it was only created because nss-ldapd was not working. It looks like it should be called "nss-pam-ldapd" (same as upstream). The maintainer of that updated a package a month ago, so worth sending them an email to help fix/update the package. If they do not respond within two weeks we can disown it so you can update it. -- Jonathan Steel
