The 'nsrauth' feature may have its adherents of course.

Maybe somebody on this list depends on nsrauth, for some reason ?

But lately I was thinking that nsrauth introduces some dependencies,
on OpenSSL that are annoying.

bash-3.2$ ldd /usr/sbin/nsrd | grep ssl
  libssl.so.0.9.7 =>     (file not found)

This was on a platform that had libssl.0.9.8, so the nsrd dependency,
for 'nsrauth' makes the product harder to install.

You have to install the missing libraries ...

In fact NetWorker 7.2.2 ran on that platform without problems,
because it uses 'oldauth' ... so this was easier to install!
