[Freeipa-devel] [PATCH] 932 Add support for storing MAC address in host entries.

[Rob Crittenden]

macaddress is a multi-valued attribute and we allow multiple entries. 
This is from the objectclass ieee802device. This is added manually when 
doing a mod or add and not as a default to support existing host entries 
that do not have this objectclass. If this were added to the defaults 
then existing hosts missing this objectclass would not be found by 
host-find.

It is possible to get ethers data out of nss by configuring 
nsswitch.conf to use ldap for ethers and running getent ethers <hostname>

I tested nslcd and it only returned one macaddress value. I don't know 
if this is a deficiency in nslcd or expected behavior.
