I've noticed that FDS and other Netscape-derived directory servers (like Sun's) do not have support for LDAP aliases. At one point there was an IETF draft for LDAP aliases which can still be found here: http://www.watersprings.org/pub/id/draft-byrne-ldap-alias-00.txt Based on documentation snippets I've run across, it looks like some LDAP servers (IBM, Novell) still support the alias schema suggested in the draft. I'm wondering why the alias schema is not included in FDS? My guess is that LDAP aliases turned out to be a bad idea for various reasons, but I'm not exactly sure what these reasons are. Does anyone have any philosophies to share about LDAP aliases and/or why they aren't included in FDS? Thanks very much, -- George
