Integrating Mac OS X And Novell eDirectory

Macosxlabs paper: "This document describes how you can use information stored in Novell's eDirectory to authenticate Macintosh users and provide file services and home directories for them on Netware 6. To do so, you'll take advantage of the Mac OS X directory services architecture. This setup would be similar to a Windows PC setup with Novell's Client 32 including 'roaming profile' support."

oft-referenced lame article
by Ashley Scott

This article gets quoted at me all the time - It is of no use whatsoever if you don't have a) netware - a GREAT number of ED installs are running, like ours, purely on linux or Win2K or b) are willing to extend your ED schema (what's the least likely thing an LDAP admin would want to do?).

ED is LDAP v3 compliant - so why is it so hard to connect a Mac to it?
