After a frustrating meeting with a local PHB, I've decided to try and put some more structured involvement into making FreeBSD easily manageable via a browser-like UI (as discussed on freebsd-hackers 2 months ago under the subject 'Adding a new user interface to FreeBSD'). As discussed then, LDAP might be a good tool to store configuration info in. The existing port of the UMich LDAP server, is, however sadly inadaquate. I have applied all patches I know of (Terry Lambert's collection from Critical Angle and elsewhere, as well as the patches forthcoming from freebsd-hackers), and created an updated port including the patches (and notified past (and possible future) port maintainers) but that still leaves UMich LDAP at LDAP v.2. Thus, I am interested in knowing who might want to work on moving ahead with better LDAP support on FreeBSD, with the intention of putting together and implementing a plan to get working LDAP v.3. So, who is interested? Peter -- Peter van Heusden | Its the 90's, and collective action is STILL cool! pvh@leftside.wcape.school.za | Get active in your union today!
