It's a damn good thing we have LDAP support >in FreeBSD, isn't it? Trust me, I did NDS for 450 Novell servers nationwide (Netherlands) over framerelay. The versions we used were around the 6.xx digit and wasn't really suitable for low-end framerelay links. Also, by default the NDS tree's security sucked and now they want to have Cisco config files in there? No thank you. Having said all that though, Boris Popov (hi Boris ;) ) is working up on getting NDS support in his stuff he committed into the tree in CURRENT.
