???? Do you know what Group Policy Objects are? That is the kind of thing that needs to be implemented. Of course it would have no effect on standalone machines, it would only take effect if the machine is configured for ldap authentication. Or maybe you have a better way for ensuring that 20000 desktops don't show user icons in kdm/mdkkdm, don't allow remote root login, only allow members of wheel to su, some machines have commercial packages, some not etc etc? autofs has LDAP support, and I don't see anyone complaining that we should throw it out just in case a single user installs it by mistake?
