[GLLUG] LDAP Server NOT OpenLDAP

[Clay Dowling]

Does anybody know of a functional Open Source LDAP server that can be 
used in place of OpenLDAP?  TinyLDAP is out, by the way, because it 
doesn't support client writes.

I've fought with OpenLDAP in the past and won (The current MSU LDAP 
server probably contains some of my work, since the SQL backend as 
distributed was useless), but I can't claim to have an interest in going 
another round.  I noticed that Fedora 2 has dropped support for the 
server, and while OpenBSD includes it in ports, it's worth noting that 
it doesn't support any but the most basic of backends (password, shell), 
and the bdb backend segfaults upon initialization.  Not exactly 
something I'm gonna be willing to put into production.  Additionally 
it's a bear to compile the latest source.

So I'm looking for a decent ldap server.  Something that wasn't written 
by those dope smoking fiends in Ann Arbor (sorry, but I've modified 
enough UofM code to know that I want to avoid their work).  Maybe this 
is a good project for me to take on in the future, but right now I'd 
just like something that worked.
