Having had experience dealing with OpenLDAP, I'd be happy to have just /anything/ else. That being said, there's nothing wrong with having multiple implementations of the same thing -- on the contrary. We have multiple implementations of DNS-servers, MTA's, MUA's, database servers, browsers, user environments, and whatnot. Why not multiple LDAP servers? -- The amount of time between slipping on the peel and landing on the pavement is precisely one bananosecond -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
