We are using OpenLDAP here for authentication. It works well, and has never given any problems - no restart, no reboot, etc. Adding/Deleting/Updating users is easy. I'm also a GUI tool to manage the directory, Directory_Administrator. I've also written a few perl scripts to perform simple management tasks as well with openldap.

Do I detect your tone that you are in favour of LDAP or OpenLDAP? Do you mind to say a. your experience with OpenLDAP serve under RedHat, as a server? b. how many clients it can serve to a mix environment with RedHat, Suse and XP? Do you have a pointer for an OpenLDAP example (RedHat server and client)? Thanks.
