OpenLDAP and libnss conflict

[Neil Joseph Schelly]

I'm working on an installation of Kolab on Debian Etch (Stable).  I'm using 
the OpenPKG method for installation to install the latest version of things 
under /kolab.

The installation works fine so long as I don't enable LDAP system logins.  I 
use LDAP for system logins by way of PAM and NSS ldap modules.  The slapd 
process segfaults as soon as the first ldap function is called.  I suspect 
this is because the process has already loaded the system libldap_r symbols 
to begin the process, creating a confusion of symbols between the system 
libldap_r and the /kolab version of libldap_r.

Everything works fine when I disable LDAP in /etc/nsswitch.conf.  

Has anyone else accomplished using the OpenPKG installation method with 
NSS/LDAP?  Has anyone tried using external libraries for the OpenLDAP part of 
things, or even better, having the OpenPKG installation just use an external 
LDAP server?
