I have started with SME: http://wiki.contribs.org/Main_Page
This is a good NT Domain + equiv on Centos 4.7 and they have Centos 5.2
(I hope now 5.3) in beta.
I have not looked enough into their roadmap to see what is being done
with LDAP...
Another effort on Fedora is Amahi.org. This is more a home product with
a WorkGroup orientation. The inclusion of home apps like streaming
music makes it very attractive.
SME is a well organized effort, originally back? by Mitel. Amahi
started as a one-man effort (though the one man behind it has impressive
credentials) and has developed a 'plugin' community.
Craig well knows the efforts of a couple of k12 guys to get some SAMBA
integration together (http://majen.net/smbldap/). This seems to have
stagnated.
I am hoping that SME continues to evolve. Their VoIP version is the
perfect place to get serious with LDAP.
