Why would we want _that_ to be the user experience? Now, I'm all for centralized management, ease of use, etc. But LDAP is just a mechanism to achieve that, and it's not at all clear that's the best one for the job, and it's certainly not the only one. There's not such a great incomaptibility between having easily modifiable files in /etc and a good user experience. Why do they have to be mutually exclusive? -- Dimi Paun <dimi@xxxxxxxxxxx> Lattica, Inc. -- fedora-devel-list mailing list fedora-devel-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-devel-list
