Let me explain more.
The integeration with OpenLDAP is like the integration
of OpenPAM, OpenSSH, AMD automounter and Bind (what we
have now).
We have default opie support and  kerberos support
(requries recompile FreeBSD) in OpenPAM.
So lets discuss whether people find native ldap
authentication support in OpenPAM useful or not.

I haved tried Redhat.
Their installer has support for workstation ldap logon
authentication against the ldap server, which is
handy.

OK, I should say:
No newer patchset has been released for a long time
for JDK 1.3.1/1.4.2.
I am not referring to JDK 1.5.

I have tried this web site
http://rsb.info.nih.gov/nih-image/java/benchmarks/sieve.html
On the same machine, Linux gives me twice score over
FreeBSD.

I refer to http://docs.freebsd.org
It says:
When in doubt about what list to post a question to,
post to freebsd-questions at FreeBSD.ORG.
