after having exclusively used heavily hacked/customised redhat for years and
years, i switched this year to suse.  Suse Linux Enterprise Server 9 has
OpenLdap2.2 as standard, more than that it uses it as the standard backend for
users, groups AND a lot of the system configuration.  I have a 2-server cluster
with near-realtime journalled replication, a decent FS (Reiser!), failover
host/service/network clustering, and DHCP, DDNS, Samba PDC, SMTP/IMAP, HTTP all
using a openldap backend for auth/config.  This is without a single line of
custom/compiled code or config, all configured through a GUI (well, a couple of
lines of cluster stuff by hand).

redhat for me is consigned to the bin forever, Novell/Suse rocks.
