I'll have something to report in the next few weeks.  I'm doing it on a
small cluster of machines at work.  I can tell you one thing,
Netscape/Fedora/Redhat/Whoever Directory Server is a lot easier to admin in
a lot of ways than OpenLDAP.  I've used OpenLDAP for a long time, but it
just a pain in the pass on the admin side.

One feature I like for Fedora is that the ACL's are stored inside the
directory and updatable on the fly, unlike OpenLDAP.
