greetings,
We've found RFC2307bis2: "An Approach for Using LDAP as a Network Information Service"
and now wondering, what've happened to it finally? Is it just expired and forgotten?
Recently we've began to deploy netgroup usage in our network and found it impossible to do search by nisNetgroupTriple attribute due to it's SYNTAX and SUBSTR definition ...
We've done "amendments" to nis.schema to fix that and they occured to be the same as the ones offered in RFC2307bis2 :)
So, is there any further plans/ideas to do something with RFC2307bis2, please?

I've tried to resurrect ldapext working group but failed. AFAIK there's currently nobody working on that.
Nevertheless you're free to use whatever schema you'd like on your server. Obviously a schema for RFC2307bis would conflict with parts of nis.schema. So you cannot include both and you should not change nis.schema.

IMO netgroups must die-die-die.
You're welcome to look at Æ-DIR which is especially intended to replace netgroup map (see https://www.ae-dir.com/faq.html#netgroup).
Ciao, Michael.
