-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Not so much of an LDAP directory, but a directory service that speaks LDAP v3 (all of 11 verbs of it). Novell's NDS (which they have now, rather wisely, decided to make into a stand-alone product) maybe just the solution you need. They have the Novell-native version, the NT-native version, and the Sun Solaris-native. Linux/HP-UX versions are in the works, they claim for them to be out by the end of this year. We'll be taking a long hard look at NDS, and we're having the Novell tech guys come out to our place and give us their "dog and pony show". Then again, most of what Novell pawns off as their own special thing I see in the OSF DCE's CDSd of the late 80's, early 90's - where many people believed it to be too heavy-weight. If you're interested, I'll keep you updated as to how the meeting went. So far, we run MacOS/NT/HP-UX/FreeBSD/Linux/Sun Solaris and we believe that NDS will allow us to use it as a central repository for config data for these OSes. We shall see how it goes, though.
