The current branch adds schemas and objects for DNS, DHCP, etc and these may be more work than I have time for. As many have noted there is a need for a tool/process to get a base directory created for those users who don't know a lot about LDAP. As a starting place using a simpler version of the openldap-dit-setup.sh script that just creates the base DC, OUs, admin user, etc is a reasonable goal for Maverick. I know directory services are not a hugely high priority for the full time members of the Server Team, but are of great interest to many of the same members. I should have time this cycle to work on such a blueprint to hopefully have an easier way to get starting using OpenLDAP on Ubuntu Server. Please let me know your ideas and if this is a worth while project for a community member. -- Party On, Adam
