Hello,

I have written a patch for net/nss_ldap to enable the use of login
classes (which are used for resource control in FreeBSD). This patch
applies cleanly against the latest version of the port. The reason I am
submitting this here and not upstream is because this is a relatively
FreeBSD-specific extension.

To use this, all one has to do is set the loginClass attribute (or a
mapping in nss_ldap.conf) for a user. The actual attribute can be
implemented as an extension to the NIS schema standard (how we did it),
or via a site-specific schema. Either way, it is trivial, and any
competent LDAP administrator should be able to do this.

I would like to solicit some review for this patch before I submit it to
the PR system. Any questions and feedback are well appreciated :).
