Santa was very good to me and brought me the java servlets book, as well as the mod_perl book. A recent project forced me to look for a way to implement pooled database connections. The servlet implementation seems quite nice, and I intend to invest some time with java. But as I wrote it in perl, I would be interested in how to do it under mod_perl. Is it as simple as never destroying the dbh? I found very little information, much less code snippets, but did discover that mod_perl makes you write clean CGI!
Well made points... Let's examine, for a second though, how far will LDAP scale? I don't profess to be an expert on this so I defer.... What alternatives (open source) exist that scale to such a magnatude? Proof perhaps that the user management of *NIX might have some areas which need improvement.
True the publicity machine at Novell is slightly amped... in addition to IBM/Novell, I remember a HP/Novell which was supposed to yeild a DS interface for HPUX. Vaporware, last time I checked with HP...
The mod_auth_nds is sweet, anyone using the PAM modules?
I am very excited to see this product... Has any one used the port for Solaris. It was released some time ago, but only for the Sparc platform, because it uses PAM. I have been told that the proof of concept was developed on linux, so I am slightly dismayed that it hasn't been released by now... since Novell's site said by Q2!
Outside of large scale user management, which by no means is trivial, what can NDS offer for *NIX? Novell's idea of authentication is very different from the traditional idea.... authenticate once and then you've got access to whatever you have rights to. I am interested in what functionality NDS can provide in an environment which traditionally has required authentication for each and every connection.... The prospect of kicking off multiple shells/ftp connections/etc and only having to authenticate once would be a interesting thing to implement...

I've not used this but it caught my attention... http://unfix.org/projects/changer/
Got any ideas?
