Subject: OS/2-NetWare Users List: Netware IP

Phil, are you running LDAP services on the server(s) now? I'd be really 
interested to hear how this works for you, as I'm thinking of 
implementing LDAP on a couple client sites. It would be nice to know in 
advance whether we have sufficiently robust tools under OS/2 to access 
this data.

Over here, when I need to drop to Windows to do something, I usually use 
a Citrix session. I've had some stability problems with my VPC setups 
recently, so I've pretty much put that on a back burner.

Insofar as a re-write of the NetWare client, it would be interesting to 
see if Innotek could do a package of the NT/2000 client akin to their 
Java 1.4 offering. This would sidestep the requirement for a ground up 
re-write of the existing 2.12 requester. I'm just talking off the top of 
my head here, as I'm sure there are probably 1,001 reasons why it can't 
be done that way....
