Just know that I've seen NsDS deployed in 10,000+ node networks
going back to the late '90s.

I don't think people realize what deal the community has gotten thanx
to yet another Red Hat purchase released, as always, 100% GPL.

OpenLDAP wasn't cutting it IMHO, and Red Hat refuses to offer solutions
that aren't GPL.  Hence why they came to an arrangement with AOL to
see NsDS GPL'd after they "gave up" on OpenLDAP.
