Re: allowing anonymous binds from a specific machine

[John Dalbec <jpdalbec@cc.ysu.edu>]

OK, I thought I was having success but then (at least on the LDAP server) things
started to break and I had to revert to universal read access.  I'm running
nss_ldap and nscd.  I wonder whether they might communicate over UNIX sockets. 
Is there a peername setting for UNIX sockets?
Thanks,
John Dalbec
