For example some command/script that would s= ay: =2Eaway file: missing (... similar checks for other files/things omitted here ...) And then a person who has created a .devaway file can notice the discrepancy. > - complaints that LDAP is too hard to use. Maybe we need better scripts and better documentation? I think the main problem might be that LDAP is too alien for many people. My opinion: I have no problem using Gentoo LDAP, but would appreciate some usability improvements. :) > - need to remember your LDAP password! D'oh, I guess it's always required, for example to update the description displayed on the roll call. By the way, it looks like this is the reason why the description is sometimes outdated.
