I know that. Perhaps you didn't read all of my previous message when
you responded. This part in particular:
"It would be a great addition to that project though. Or
to the Centos-based SMEserver if you add NFS too."
Perhaps that was badly worded. I meant that adding LDAP to either
or both of OpenFiler and SMEserver would be great so you could
do all user-related setup in one place for any number of workstations.
In the SMEserver case you get email and local/samba user management
but not NFS. I'd like to see a distribution that a small/medium
sized organization could drop on one server-class box and cover
everything that needs individual setup, permitting any number of
linux/unix/osx/windows clients to be installed on the network with
no special setup yet allow anyone to log in and see their files
and get email. Between SMEserver, OpenFiler, and the LDAP directory
server, all the parts are there but they don't quite fit together
yet.
