Re: NIS -- LDAP which is the best?

Please don't mind if I decide to disagree with you :) :) I guess that we 
in the CS Department (sigh) using Solaris 9 are moving from the NIS+ 
system to Iplanet Directory Server 5.0, there are management tools with 
this software of course, but I think that there is a great tool its 
called PERL and some ldap modules such as Mozilla::LDAP::* you can build 
whatever you want instead of using the slow java intereface yuck !

	Cheers,
