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

[Jan Cholasta]

Dne 20.1.2012 21:15, Rob Crittenden napsal(a):
> 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.

Why do you add the objectclass here instead of adding it to host 
plugin's object_class attribute?
