I'm in Haidan District (across the road from the Beijing Institute of Technology) - practically the opposite corner from where you are (your blog puts you in Pan Jia Yuan). Only going to be here for another couple of weeks or couple of months, depending on circumstances.
Chinese postal addresses go from general-to-specific.
For example: China, Beijing, Haidian District, Zhong Guan Cun South Street, No 12, Room 1-234 (in Chinese characters, of course, but slashdot won't display them for me)
You can make a bookmark after this flash screen and skip it entirely. I don't know exactly where I bookmarked (since I'm not in the office right now), but I _think_ you can bookmark any of the pages after login. I probably bookmarked the page just after login.
I live in Ireland. Practially 99% of all (distance) road signs are in km. As signs are replaced, they are converted. The only remaining mile-based signs are in very remote areas.
Speed limit signs are still in miles. Changing them will be fun...
Be careful with DDS tape changers. DDS driver are rated at a relatively low duty cycle (about 20%), so the theoritical capacity might not be a large as you think.
20% means only about 5 hours or operation per day. Look at your throughput in MB/min and work out how much you can store in 5 hours.
DDS tape changers are meant to reduce the amount of human labour involved in rotating tapes. They are not meant to be used to run DDS drives 100% of the time.
I'd say go for DLT if you are hitting the limits of DDS. DLT is rated at 100% duty cycle. You can run those babies all day and all night without worry.
Two years ago, when I was looking into LDAP stuff, there was talk of a pam_ldap module, which you could use to authenticate all sorts of services against your LDAP directory. If it's available it'll probably be available in the OpenLDAP distribution.
Then hack/etc/pam.d/pop and/or/etc/pam.d/imap to use pam_ldap.so for 'auth' rather than use pam_pwdb.so
Use DDS-2 or DDS-3 drives and tapes. I'll be ordering a HP DAT24 DDS-3 drive next week so I can let you know how I get on (it's for an NT box though:-(
DDS-3 is 12GB (24 compresses) per tape. Something like 7GB/hour compressed. And the drives can read & write your original DDS-1 tapes as well.

I'm afraid my Chinese isn't as good as yours.
