| OpenLDAP is a massively flexible piece of software. So are the
| underlying software components that plug in. I think the premise that a
| person can just install and go is flawed, and I think the premise that
| people can just "set up" OpenLDAP while skipping on the documentation is
| flawed as well.
But, it seems that the time spent on reading the docs + time spent
implementing is much higher for openldap than many other projects.
| The quantity and quality of the documentation available
| in the FAQ, Admin guide, and man pages has increased substantially since
| I've been working with OpenLDAP, and I think it is more valuable to put
| energy into those areas than to try and come up with "defaults" that in
| the end are most likely to cause more confusion that in people had
| simply taken the time to read the documentation. Of course, we live in
| a society that expects 30 second infomercials to tell them how to do
| everything, so I suppose this thread shouldn't be too surprising. ;)
Were you replying to my issue with global ACLs, or just using it as an
opportunity to criticise people who try to ship openldap packages that
work mostly out-the-box for limited supported (by me) configurations?
