Description:
This package includes two LDAP access clients: nss_ldap and pam_ldap.
Nss_ldap is a set of C library extensions that allow X.500 and LDAP
directory servers to be used as a primary source of aliases, ethers,
groups, hosts, networks, protocol, users, RPCs, services, and shadow
passwords (instead of or in addition to using flat files or NIS).

Pam_ldap is a module for Linux-PAM that supports password changes, V2
clients, Netscape's SSL, ypldapd, Netscape Directory Server password
policies, access authorization, and crypted hashes.

- avoid deadlock when one of our lookups recurses into our own host resolution
  routine, which would otherwise cause a deadlock or a crash (#448883)
- provisionally add an "nss_check_case" option which, when enabled, will
  ignore entries for which the result didn't case-exact match the query,
  regardless of the comparison performed by the directory (#508621,#518911)
