[Patch] Add nss_min_gid threshold for min GIDs

[CHAPUIS Bertille <bertille.chapuis [at] alstomgroup.com>]

RESTRICTED

Hello,

I would like to contribute to nss-pam-ldapd with a patch that introduces nss_min_gid. This option allows ignoring LDAP users and groups whose numeric GID is lower than a specified threshold.

Currently, there is no mechanism to filter LDAP groups based on a minimum GID value. This can cause issues in environments where certain ID ranges are reserved.

Your project already implements a similar option, nss_min_uid, for user IDs. This patch extends that concept to group IDs for consistency.

Proposed Solution

• Added a new nss_min_gid parameter in nslcd.conf.
• Updated cfg.c, cfg.h, group.c, passwd.c, and the documentation (man/nslcd.conf.5.xml).
• Requests for GIDs below the configured threshold are ignored.

Thank you for reviewing this contribution. Please let me know if any adjustments are needed.

I have attached the patch to this email. This patch was created starting from the last current commit from master branch of nss-pam-ldapd : 8ddb983a546f632986a84a784c4625110f7782a2
