It should work perfectly fine with 2.2/2.3 and the upcoming 2.4.

At a quick glance: - The ebuild handles the SSL certs now - migrationtools is no longer used, need to provide a bootstrap.ldif and point users to a suitable tool for creating their entries (I have a vested interest in diradm, and really need to get the next release of diradm out the door, but do NOT use it yet). - Well migrationtools can still be used, but it's something that you grab from a tarball, run exactly once, and throw away. - The pam/nss configuration and /etc/ldap.conf need a lot of work. So again, there is NOTHING that is specific to any version of OpenLDAP there. There's plenty that can be done better/slightly differently in 2.2/2.3, but nothing that would fail anywhere other than 2.1. -- Robin Hugh Johnson Gentoo Linux Developer E-Mail : [EMAIL PROTECTED] GnuPG FP : 11AC BA4F 4778 E3F6 E4ED F38E B27B 944E 3488 4E85
