> > http://www.xedoc.com.au/~lukeh/ldap/schema.html > Julian, What's your interest in this area? I make heavy production use of FreeBSD NIS but am planning a move to LDAP. This is my next big project... I expect to spend a few months on it. One of the main goals is to provide generic directory services that Web applications can leverage, but I was planning on some sort of gateway to NIS to keep the user passwords in sync. From the URL above it seems that this NIS intergration is being seriously considered. I hope I can make use of their work. I read Bill Paul's reply about not having any time. If I make any progress that seems integratable into FreeBSD I will of course submit it to someone for consideration. Do you have any plans to work in this area? It would be nice to have some folks to bounce my stuff off of. Do you know what has been done by FreeBSD folks with LDAP in general? (other than the port of the umich package). Are there any official plans to make use of it in any real way? thanks, --- ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Charles N.
