It=92s probably better to be vague and meaningless than wrong. Someone =
will think of a more accurate descriptor, but in the meantime it=92s =
better not to have an inaccurate one.

Sure it should. Tons of ports have LDAP support. This feels a bit like =
pedantry, as =93Kerberos support=94 and =93Gopher protocol support=94 =
and =93Unicode support=94 are no more or less useful, though people who =
need them will know to enable them.

What about =93LDAP user directory support=94?
