Well, MS proved generalized directory use was no problem for basic admins/devs as long as the directory server deployment itself was hassle-free. You have to take a longer view that what exists today, or no infrastructure change would ever be possible. However the LDAP stack in Fedora is not ready for such use today, and won't be till the Fedora Directory Server guys actually get their stuff in Rawhide and make it as easy to setup as Fedora Apache is. (The same argument could be written about JBoss & Java-on-Linux BTW. The fact SUN is lifting licensing restrictions won't magically push adoption by itself, unless there are serious packaging and streamlining follow-ups) -- Nicolas Mailhot -- fedora-devel-list mailing list fedora-devel-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-devel-list
