The integeration with OpenLDAP is like the integration of OpenPAM, OpenSSH, AMD automounter and Bind (what we have now). We have default opie support and kerberos support (requries recompile FreeBSD) in OpenPAM. So lets discuss whether people find native ldap authentication support in OpenPAM useful or not. I haved tried Redhat. Their installer has support for workstation ldap logon authentication against the ldap server, which is handy. > > > > 3) Java improvement > > It seems that the development has been stopped > after > > JDK 1.3.1/1.4.2 for a long time. > > I don't know what you define as a long time, but jdk > 1.5 was only > recently released.

It's one thing to state your opinion (which you've done), and another to support it. I don't mean to be rude, but it does take a bit more to get something moved into the base install. It can't just be more convenient to you, it has to improve the system for the entire user base of FreeBSD, or at least the majority of those users that express their opinion. > 2) A stable software raid implementation > To my knowledge, vinum is not very stable in 5.x.

I don't know what you define as a long time, but jdk 1.5 was only recently released. I assume you didn't expect it to be ported before it was released. > Java performance in FreeBSD is not very good.

Resired features/wish list for FreeBSD
Hi First of all, I know that most commiters or contributors contribute their work in their free time. I am not asking for any promise but I just want to discuss possible improvement for FreeBSD. OK, after using FreeBSD for some time, I would like to see FreeBSD have these features/improvements: 1) OpenLDAP Integration FreeBSD has OpenLDAP support in the ports, but I think it would be great if FreeBSD support LDAP out of the box (just like Solaris and most Linux distro) There are areas to improve: - nsswitch (it's in the ports) But it only support passwd and group now. - naming cache daemon (nscd) Without this one, the workstation will query the LDAP server everytime with just very simple command like ls. A lookupd is in the ports but it would be great if it is integrated and/or improved. 2) A stable software raid implementation To my knowledge, vinum is not very stable in 5.x. 3) Java improvement It seems that the development has been stopped after JDK 1.3.1/1.4.2 for a long time. Java performance in FreeBSD is not very good. 4) Some nice ports are broken in 5.x Like tripwire 2.3.1.2_3 Regards Patrick _ 必殺技、飲歌、小星星... 浪漫鈴聲 情心連繫 http://us.rd.yahoo.com/evt=22281/*http://ringtone.yahoo.com.hk/ ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
