I was talking about the NEED for such a document, not
talking about who authored / would author it.
My point (perhaps unclear) was that openldap should have such
a document, or at least not 'dis those who try..
Maybe, the quick-start guide could be expanded with different
sessions.
There's another good source of documentation in the tests/script
with all the major features being setup in tests repository.
The Zytrax guys are clearly just out to make a buck, lifting
the OpenLDAP Admin Guide content and putting a thin layer of
"personal experience" around it. They're not contributing back
to the OpenLDAP community; they're not participating in the
community at all, and the info they're distributing is (as
noted) already outdated.
Such a openldap guide might least serve a purpose, more for
newbies as
supposed to the old salts, in that it could reduce chatter
regards to getting
a server compiled/running/loaded etc., in the first place,
but call me an
optimist.
If you really believe that helping a 3rd party keep their
obsolete plagiarism of the OpenLDAP Project's work up to date
is a good idea, "optimist" is not the word I'd use for you.
My reference to being an optimist was thinking that the
openldap project might by itself create such a guide. Being an
open source project i'm sure there is plenty of other work
needing to be done, besides creating such a guide.
Don't minimize doc. Easy docs means more successful setup, more
visibility, more persons involved and more developers.
I am happy enough to have a go at such a guide, but a poet i
am not. What is the preferred document format ?
Admin guide is using sdf at this time. All documents are included in
the source tarball. Have a look.
