Either the documentation for ldap client auth is wrong or auth_client_config has a bug.

Asked by Andrew

12.04 Precise.

https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LDAPClientAuthentication says:

`sudo auth-client-config -t nss -p lac_ldap`

and yet:
"""
# auth-client-config -t nss -p lac_ldap
Usage: auth-client-config -p PROFILE -a -t TYPE [-dn -f FILE]
       auth-client-config -p PROFILE -a -t TYPE -r [-n -f FILE]
       auth-client-config -p PROFILE -a -t TYPE -s [-f FILE]

auth-client-config: error: option -p: invalid choice: 'lac_ldap' (choose from 'ldap_example', 'kerberos_example', 'cracklib')
"""

is the answer as simple as choosing ldap_example? or is a lac_ldap profile indeed missing?
