is LDAP the natural successor to NIS/NIS+? we are running NIS+ at our site and have become aware that support from Sun is waning. is LDAP included with the Sol 8 or 9 distributions or is it an additional product at an additional price? i haven't a clue about LDAP. alan _________________ *Alan Rubin* Sun/Unix/Networking/Web Writing Email:rubin at frell.org
