The situation with LDAP today is that if you use it seriously (e.g. in a Windows environment with ActiveDirectory and Microsoft's bastardized Kerberos), you end up with parts of the base system having build-time dependencies on OpenLDAP. In my eyes, that is a very strong argument in favor of absorbing OpenLDAP into the base system. DES --=20 Dag-Erling Sm=F8rgrav - des@des.no
