BUT ...

I have no  bandwidth to  write indvidual fds-7.1.spec package sources
or package source for Solaris and HP-UX package management system.

What I can offer is to use the TWW HPMS system I know to create
one software build  source(in xml) to build fds binary and one package build 
source
for all three unix platforms to generate native packages.

hmm, I remember I configured pam but in the end I need to insert
an user name from ldap server into /etc/passwd so that telnet or
ssh can work.
