[kiranopatil]

I am running an OpenLDAP 2.4 server under FreeBSD. Need help to set[]up ldap user authentication on a FreeBSD client machine.

@SirDice, could you please tell me which daemons need to be restarted after configuring the LDAP client? I got ldapsearch to work but id username returns nothing.

There are no daemons running on the client for LDAP. If id username doesn't work you may have forgotten to set /etc/nsswitch.conf correctly.

Of course I know that but

after you alter nsswitch don't you need to restart some daemon so that the system picks up things?
