A Linux conversion may be your ticket away from the daily hassles of managing and licensing domain controllers and related software devices. In this tip, Paul Murphy discusses the evolution of LDAP and how using it, along with Linux, can make an administrator's job easier."

    This is neither news nor is it anything that matters. The core of the problem isn't ID management, it never was. It's application support for linux, which is pretty much non-existant in most fields.

    My LDAP-Fu is stronger than yours!

    Hey, maybe this is how SlashMemes get started. Maybe there needs to be an LDIF-formatted post in every thread now.

    Except in Soviet Russia, of course, where posts LDIF-format you!

    There's 3 types of Linux

    1) Desktop distros
    2) Server distros
    3) BS distros that don't work

    Gentoo falls firmly into category 3.
