Also not to be rude, but Quanah's evaluation seemed more of a 
justification than the former. The point was, IMHO, that if "the others 
didn't have the necessary, then they were rejected".

A pity, since Novell's (originally, years ago, NDS and many months/years 
now) eDirectory has always been what taught me the x500 rules and is my 
standard pattern for the utimate.

But NetWare's needs for a corporation-wide database and Stanford's needs 
for an authorisation database are worlds apart. eDirectory would be 
overkill to the nth degree and performance loss likewise. Not to speak 
of being able to hire in one of the the chief architects to solve 
problems and help plan for the future. For me, that's the chief 
difference between eDirectory and Openldap.

Who still has a permanent place in his heart for Novell - in spite of 
Ray Noorda's already proved and advanced senility (read "Caldera").
