                package was created world-readable which could cause problems

                if the bindpw option is used (CVE-2009-1073)

                this has been fixed in the Debian package but other users

  problems (some errors only occur when getting the results, not when starting

  the search)

* add support for groups with up to around 150000 members (assuming user names

  on average are a little under 10 characters)

* problem with possible SIGPIPE race condition was fixed by using send()

  instead of write()

* add uid and gid configuration keywords that set the user and group of the

  nslcd daemon

* add some documentation on supported group to member mappings

* add sanity checking to code for when clock moves backward

* log messages now include a session id that makes it easier to track errors

  to requests (especially useful in debugging mode)

* miscellaneous portability improvements

* increase buffers and time-outs to handle large lookups more gracefully

* implement SASL authentication based on a patch by Dan White

* allow more characters in user and group names

changes form 0.6.1 to 0.6.2

---------------------------

* all user and group names are now checked for validity are specified in the

  POSIX Portable Filename Character Set

* support retrieval of ranged attribute values as sometimes returned by Active

  Directory

* added the threads keyword to configure the number of threads that should be

  started in nslcd

* handle empty netgroups properly

* change the time-out and retry mechanism for connecting to the LDAP server to

  return an error quickly if the LDAP server is known to be unavailable for a

  long time (this removed the reconnect_tries option and changes the meaning

  of the reconnect_sleeptime and reconnect_maxsleeptime options)

* increased the time-out values between the NSS module and nslcd because of

  new retry mechanism

* implement new dict and set modules that use a hashtable to map keys

  efficiently

* use the new set to store group membership to simplify memory management and

  eliminate duplicate members

* the uniqueMember attribute now only supports DN values

* implement a cache for DN to user name lookups (15 minute timeout) used for

  the uniqueMember attribute to save on doing LDAP searches for groups with a

  lot of members, based on a patch by Petter Reinholdtsen

* improvements to the tests

* if any of the ldap calls return LDAP_UNAVAILABLE or LDAP_SERVER_DOWN the

  connection is closed

* improve dependencies in LSB init script header to improve dependency based

  booting

changes from 0.6 to 0.6.1

-------------------------

* numerous small fixes and compatibility improvements

* the I/O buffers between nslcd and NSS module are now dynamically sized and

  tuned for common requests

* correctly follow referrals

* add StartTLS support by Ralf Haferkamp of SuSE

* miscellaneous documentation improvements

* remove code for handling rootbinddn/pw because it is unlikely to be

  supported any time soon

* fix a problem with realloc()ed memory that was not referenced

* fix for a crash in group membership buffer growing code thanks to Petter

  Reinholdtsen

* some improvements to the Active Directory sample configuration

* fix init script exit code with stop while not running

* fixes to the _nss_ldap_initgroups_dyn() function to properly handle the

  buffer and limits passed by Glibc

* fixes to the member to groups search functions to correctly handle

  uniqueMember attributes

* only return shadow entries to root users

* miscellaneous Debian packaging improvements

changes from 0.5 to 0.6

-----------------------

* fix parsing of map option in nss-ldapd.conf

* fix bug in handling of userPassword values

* remove warning about missing loginShell attribute

* support the uniqueMember LDAP attribute that holds DN values

* support ldap as a compat service in /etc/nsswitch.conf

* implement _nss_ldap_initgroups_dyn() to allow username->groups searches

* fix retry mechanism with get*ent() functions where a too small buffer was

  passed by libc (to support groups with a lot of members)

* fix a bug in reporting of communications problems between nslcd and the NSS

  library

* test and log failures of all LDAP library calls

* improved tests

* miscellaneous compatibility improvements to try to support more LDAP

  libraries and platforms

* support compilation with OpenLDAP 2.4 and newer

* some configure script improvements

* Debian packaging improvements

changes from 0.4.1 to 0.5

-------------------------

* major structural changes in the LDAP lookup code using a newly implemented

  module that does memory management, session handling, paging and all other

  painful things with a simple interface

* rewritten LDAP query and result handling code, now generating warnings

  about incorrect entries in the LDAP directory

* IPv6 addresses in host lookups are now supported

* added Kerberos ccname support (with the krb5_ccname option) thanks to

  Andreas Schneider and Ralf Haferkamp from SuSE and remove --with-gssapi-dir,

  --enable-configurable-krb5-ccname-gssapi and

  --enable-configurable-krb5-ccname-env configure options and having automatic

  detection instead

* added support for DNS SRV record lookups by specifying DNS as uri thanks to

  Ralf Haferkamp and Michael Calmer from SuSE

* added support for DOMAIN as base DN which uses the host's domain to

  construct a DN

* removed nss_connect_policy, bind_policy and sizelimit options

* cleaned up and documented reconnect logic with reconnect_tries,

  reconnect_sleeptime and reconnect_maxsleeptime options

* configuration values with spaces in them (e.g. distinguished names) are now

  handled properly

* fix a small memory leak in the I/O module

* miscellaneous code improvements (better source code comments, more

  consistent logging, portability improvements, more tests, etc)

* improvements to documentation

changes from 0.4 to 0.4.1

-------------------------

* added French debconf translation by Cyril Brulebois

* added Japanese debconf translation by Kenshi Muto

* fix a problem with network name lookups where the lookup would result

  in the wrong call to nslcd

* fix wrong default filter for rpc lookups

* fix a number of memory leaks (thanks valgrind)

  (all memory leaks during normal operation should be fixed now)
