Up until a few months ago, I had been using OpenLDAP successfully for several years with replication via syncrepl working perfectly between a master and two off-site slaves. Then, I ran into an issue where OpenLDAP would use up all of the available file descriptors and lock up the system. I had been researching 389 DS over the past few years anyway and wanted to try it out -- so I did. Both OpenLDAP and 389 DS are capable and will be able to achieve what you want without problems. > > eGroupWare via any computer that has access to the host > > I looked up eGroupWare, but was surprised there is no official > Fedora package. > (My only fear with this is that an application not supported by Fedora > might become incompatible with some later distribution.) eGroupWare is a php-based CMS and doesn't really need packages. I'm sure there are other CMS systems that would do just as well, but eGroupWare does allow you to have your accounts AND addressbook data in LDAP. It also gives you SyncML, which enables you to sync calendars, addressbooks, etc. to things like BlackBerry, other phones. I had created my own LDAP addressbook web frontend a few years ago and found that eGroupWare more than made up for its shortcomings. (I'm not trying to advertise eGW -- it's a little heavy in my opinion --but it works fantastically well with LDAP -- if there are alternatives, I'd like to hear about them too.) I use eGroupWare via subversion: http://www.egroupware.org/wiki?wikipage=subversion If you do decide to use eGW and you need SyncML, go with "trunk" instead of 1.6 as the SyncML features are part of the main development and 1.6 only gets security backports (1.6 didn't work with my BlackBerry). -- Anthony - http://messinet.com - http://messinet.com/~amessina/gallery 8F89 5E72 8DF0 BCF0 10BE 9967 92DC 35DC B001 4A4E
