Of course, interoperability is a hard issue to debug. Which program is
at fault is hard to determine. So a 'interoperability' discussion seems
to be at least partly on-topic to this list in the sense that OpenLDAP
as a server tool is worthless without clients (all of which are
developed outside the OpenLDAP scope). So to be calling these
discussions off-topic seems a bit drastic to me.
Now having said that, two things could be done, one is to set-up a
second mailinglist discussing interoperability. The other is to accept
that interoperability issues are an integral part of the problems admins
encounter when trying to use the OpenLDAP software and open this list to
these discussions.
several times, and yet you insisted on repeatedly posting to the list,
and then heaping "verbal" abuse on the list maintainer.
I must say, verbal abuse of people who probably spend a lot of their
free time on helping us with our problems is not very motivating. I must
add that 'use the source' and 'go look for your answer elswhere' type of
answers are a bit to common on this list for my liking. But I do get
usefull responses from this list as well, and appriciate that. I guess
everybody needs to think before hitting the 'send' button and make sure
he is not too much deprived of caffeine, this would make this list a lot
better place.
