sorry, this is not acceptable.
1. ldap at the very end is not always correct.
2. Just asking the user if ldap.conf is set up is insufficent. They should test it via 'getent -s ldap $SERVICE $ENTITY' before making any change to nsswitch.conf.
Comment 5 Robin Johnson archtester Gentoo Infrastructure gentoo-dev Security 2006-12-15 19:34:32 UTC 
I'm going to be closing this since LDAP at the end of nsswitch isn't always correct, and I think this will make it extremely easy for users to break their system.
# emerge nss_ldap
# emerge --config nss_ldap
# (broken system)
