http://news.com.com/Red+Hat+acquires+AOLs+Netscape+server +software/2100-7344_3-5388906.html?tag=nefd.top Relevant paragraphs: "Red Hat's new software includes Netscape Directory Server, used to manage information such as usernames and access policies, and Netscape Certificate Server, used to manage user identities and encryption chores" "the company spent less than $25 million on the acquisition." "But open-source programmers already have an option when it comes to open-source directory software: the OpenLDAP project that Red Hat already includes. Szulik said the company will include both packages." Wouldn't "less than $25 million" have been better spent on extending OpenLDAP? They already support it, along with lots of other software (e.g. Evolution ldap address books). Who knows what artifacts has the old code. -- Marius Andreiana Galuna - Solutii Linux in Romania http://www.galuna.ro
