no dispute here.

My issue(s) are much simpler. I have two installations - at my house (1
user) and at a specific client with approx 25 users. Version 2.0.7
works, it's clearly not state of the art LDAP but it works and it is
minimal hassle. 

I can readily appreciate that larger networks can justify the extra
effort necessary to bring openldap to current but I can't justify this
to my customer, fixing something that isn't broken. That was of course
one of the selling points of RH AS 3 - you may consider it useless but
it isn't broken. The problem that RHEL customers have is when they ask
questions here on this list, the answer is obviously get current.
