I would really like to know whats causing this. For me, one of the MAJOR
reasons of using LDAP is to use the roaming profiles in netscape with
all the bells and whistles.

Could anyone give a final word on this like is it netscape that is
not LDAP compliant (so that people have to buy *there* LDAP server) or
does the LDAP community doesnt want to patch openLDAP to work with
broken clients or is this an outstanding bug in openLDAP?

How about d/l the Netscape Server beta for linux and comparing the
databases (I would do it but i'm quite new to LDAP)?
