Re: Does ldap suit for embedded system?

[Richard Krukar <krukar@ectopia.com>]

    An LDAP server can easily go into an embedded system.  Well, maybe
not
super easy, but not too hard.  packeteer.com is doing some stuff with
embedded
LDAP, but I think it a client.

    Regardless, there are Linux and BSD projects underway for building
embedded
systems.  Use one of those and use an OpenLDAP slapd as an application.
That
gives you an embedded LDAP server with very little work on your part.
The
place where you can expect trouble if you're running diskless is that
you
could use you're data when power drops.  One solution is to replicate
the
server to another machine which has a disk.  In essence, you will have
developed an LDAP cache server.  The other solution is to use flash
memory.
I think the Corel guys (www.corelcomputer.com) developed a flash based
filing system for their embedded linux box.
