I suppose I don't understand what you are saying. Are you saying that
some of the LDAP servers are not compliant with RFC's for LDAP? Which
ones? how?

As for people not wanting to understand LDAP, that's their choice and I
wish them luck. If you want a pre-configured LDAP that's always the same
for every installation, check out Active Directory. It doesn't get any
easier to implement LDAP on Active Directory if you don't understand it.
