Hello, That was a great explation.Simple and Succinct.Too bad it did not come from stupid RH folks.I am sorry I did not get it. What exactly you mean by "RH is not building OpenLADP for running as a server"? I feel like I am being cheated by RH for duping me to buy expensive RH boxes. Red Hat support is terrible as far as LDAP is concerd.I wish there will be a update only subscription available for RHEL.
