So no one expects anyone to have more than one fedora box and need them
to share network authentication?
i.e., isn't that what your
'e-smith' distro (or whatever it is called) does?
I thought the point of using any packaged distribution was that its own
components would work together. E-smith (now SME server) just does a
kickstart install and provides a web interface that does all your
config-file editing for you with a few concepts combined - mostly geared
towards being server for windows boxes. It does provide an ldap setup
suitable for an outlook address book, but it can't authenticate against
its own LDAP server let alone a different instance.

I guess I always expected 'Fedora Directory Server' to be part of Fedora
and come set up to work. Maybe I missed something obvious here...

coming from the guy who last week decried that it seemed the intent of
Fedora was to be a self-contained distribution, this is extremely
laughable.
You mean they have to complete the inclusion of every possible package
in the universe before making their own clients talk to their own
server? Otherwise I don't how this relates to anything. And is there
some reason not to expect 'Fedora Directory Server' to not be part of
... Fedora?
It is impossible to know where you are coming from.
I'd like something that works... Do you really prefer an LDAP
authentication client that won't work with the server as shipped in the
same distribution?
