Through the same mechanisms that are used now for passwords that fail 
syntax checking during add or modify operations.

Yes, but we have some issues, primarily with Apache and Perl.  
Unfortunately, we cannot use the Apache provided with some versions of 
Solaris, nor the version from sunfreeware.com, because they do not have 
support for multi threaded mode.

In addition, there are no pre-built native 64 bit Apache and Perl 
binaries that we can use.  We require native 64 bit because all of our 
components are native 64 bit, and we'd rather not get into the business 
of having to ship the full contingent of 32 bit components with our 64 
bit distribution - harder to build, harder to manage, package size 
bloat, etc. etc.

The result is that we will have to build and distribute our own versions 
of Apache and Perl for Solaris for 32 bit and 64 bit.  We are doing this 
work for Red Hat Directory Server and Certificate System because we have 
to support our existing Solaris customers, so once that's done, we 
should be able to leverage that work for Fedora Directory Server.
