* write more unit tests
* add sanity checking code (e.g. not too large buffer allocation and checking
  that host, user, etc do not contain funky characters) in all server modules
* log some statistics: "passwd=100 shadow=10 host=20 rpc=10" (10 req/minute)
* in the server: once the request is done pass the flushing of the buffers to
  a separate thread so our workers are available to handle new requests
  (test whether this actually improves performace)
* add an option to create an extra socket somewhere (so it may be used in
  chroot jails)
* make I/O timeout between NSS lib and daemon configurable with configure
* ethers: also look in ipHostNumber attribute to look up an IPv4 (IPv6)
  address and return it as an alternative entry (investigate whether this is
  sane)
* protocols/rpc: the description attribute should be used as an alias?
* review changes in nss_ldap and merge any useful changes
* maybe rate-limit LDAP entry warnings
* setnetgrent() may need to return an error if the netgroup is undefined
* handle repeated calls to getent() better (see http://bugzilla.padl.com/show_bug.cgi?id=376)
* make it possible to start nslcd real early in the boot process and have
  it become available when it determines it can (other timeout/retry mechanism
  on startup)
* implement requesting and handling password policy information when binding
  as a user
* implement nested groups
* implement other services in nslcd: sudo and autofs are candidates
* restart unscd on postinst, just like nscd (or perhaps do nscd -i <MAP>)
* instead of library symbol, use environment variable to disable NSS module
* properly test Solaris support
* fix buffer handling in read_**string() functions (Solaris support)
* complete pynslcd implementation
* in nslcd/pam.c check shadow properties if present
