No, not at the moment. But as soon as people start asking about Apache modules and php interfaces, and people start answering them and we get threads and things, then the sky's the limit. There is GQ, directory_administrator (or whatever it's called), kldap etc. etc. - where does one draw the limit? > As long as the percentage isn't to high we just should ignore it > or sometimes give the people who asked a hint where to look for > help on their question ... O.k., anybody help me with Exim ldap look up on mail aliases and the Lachman-Laser Internet draft? Or is the correct place the Exim mailing list, where Exim's creator is a regular contributor? > Think of PAM.

If one downloads the PADL pam and nss modules and (after compiling and installing it succesfully - Linux, of course :-) casts around for the supporting stuff, one sees that at least half the "how do I ... ?" pam questions and answers on this list are superfluous. People give "their" answers, whilst in fact PADL has done all the work for them already. Nobody's praised Luke Howard for this yet, as far as I've seen. Well, Luke, hereby my congrats and thanks ... > PS.: I'm in different lists, specially in a LINUX-list, from where > i receive up to 500 mails/day.
