Consider this in regards proposing a central repository in Unifying configuration files management usage, we should all remember that SUN One / IPlanet Directory server 5.x allows for Implementing a Custom Map that this could be leveraged to handle this issue as well and since there is already a Solaris nss/ldap/pam API for a central LDAP repository see “Example 2–Implementing a Custom Map” URL of http://docs.sun.com/app/docs/doc/816-4556/6maort2to?a=view , so this proposed API should include LDAP compatibly that supports the RFC-2307 as well as XML library support mentioned used in standardized with dealing in Unix services configuration files and even more abstract is using a UDDI registry service presentation standard for service advertising for Unix services would be a long term goal, but using LDAP as a repository is really the best long term solution, so LDAP could be used as is a layer below a UDDI, to supply Solaris services configuration settings and then XML and last files just like in the nss order of naming services!
