	I'm in this position myself... I'm currently workin with Linux
boxen that are runnin Debian exclusively and I'm in the process of
tryin to use OpenLDAP with the PAM modules for LDAP but runnin into
credential problems with OpenLDAP which are stoppin me from importin
current system information into the LDAP DB...
	On a side note it does look like Windoze 2000 Server will be
using what they call "Active Directory" which is supposed to be LDAP
compliant for v2 or v3... Which may mean Windoze/*NIX networks will
be easier to manage although this is yet to be seen...

	Respectfully,
