[nflug] Sun DS

[eric]

:) I have OS X server, but didn't know open LDAP was on it I thought it 
was Apple's idea of a directory server, it's a no brainer for me, it was 
frighteningly easy to setup (cause I remember setting up a open LDAP 
raw... with minimal functionality as far as security goes), now I just 
have to learn how to use it correctly with samba, and add users.  I'm so 
geekly excited, I feel as though a weight has been lifted... ahhh yes 
"light" weight directory.
