[Pkg-openldap-devel] Bug#590998: ldap-utils: centralize LDAP parameters

[Patricio Rojo]

Package: ldap-utils
Version: 2.4.11-1+lenny1
Severity: wishlist

I apologize if this is the wrong package in which to file this wishlist. 
I'll appreciate forwarding in that case.
 
I manage users in one machine with LDAP.  I'm very suprised that I need 
to change the address of my ldap server, I had to edit each of

/etc/ldap/ldap.conf
/etc/pam_ldap.conf
/etc/libnss-ldap.conf

Wouldn't make more sense to have only one line with such information, 
and maybe that file can be specified from the others?

 Thanks!
