Disagree.

For PAM & NSS related LDAP questions - there is the PAM related list.

For Samba related LDAP questions - there is the Samba list.

For Sendmail related LDAP questions - there is the Samba list.

For Redhat specific LDAP questions - there are the RedHat lists.

etc....

There is *NO* (IMNSHO) shortage of appropriate forums for most of the 
"off-topic" posts I see.

People need to  - stop -  read -  and realize what they usually have is 
ultimately not even an LDAP related question, but concerns the operation 
of a specific package (PAM, NSS, Samba, etc...) 

For general LDAP questions (schema, etc...) there is the general LDAP list 
at umich.
