RE: Production use of OpenLDAP

["Soop, Christoffer" <christoffer.soop@framfab.se>]

Sounds great, which company/site are you talking about?  Judging from your
e-mail I guess that the company is Internet Access AG and that you are in
the ISP buisiness, right?

The Radius-thing sounds interesting.  I don't think I have heard about
Radius support in OpenLDAP - are you using some kind of generic Radius/LDAP
gateway?

Cheers,
