It just occurred to me that Apple must be encountering this problem with OS-X. To whatever extent it is possible to configure the daemons that they inherited from BSD with their GUI and NetInfo services, anyway. I don't own a Mac, so I don't know how well they're doing with this. Anyone have more info/experience? How close is NetInfo to LDAP, conceptually, in the sense of distributed database thingies? Is there any released Darwin code that would be useful to consider rolling back into FreeBSD in this regard? -- Andrew To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-arch" in the body of the message
