The integeration with OpenLDAP is like the integration of OpenPAM, OpenSSH, AMD automounter and Bind (what we have now). We have default opie support and kerberos support (requries recompile FreeBSD) in OpenPAM. So lets discuss whether people find native ldap authentication support in OpenPAM useful or not. I haved tried Redhat. Their installer has support for workstation ldap logon authentication against the ldap server, which is handy. > > > > 3) Java improvement > > It seems that the development has been stopped > after > > JDK 1.3.1/1.4.2 for a long time. > > I don't know what you define as a long time, but jdk > 1.5 was only > recently released.
