<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2><SPAN class=734582418-14092007>I have a question
about capabilities in the Fedora/RH Directory server:</SPAN></FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2><SPAN class=734582418-14092007>First, can it do
dynamic groups as Novell eDirectory does (or is there any effort to add
this):</SPAN></FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2><SPAN class=734582418-14092007>Basically, it's
similar to the groupofURL's that is supported by the RH/Sun directory server,
but when the group is retrieved, dn's for entries that match the ldap url
dynamic criteria is returned added to the uniquemember attribute, and you can do
searches/compares on the uniquemember attribute that includes dynamic
members.</SPAN></FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2><SPAN class=734582418-14092007>I realise there are
some significant performance considerations with this, but for modest use, it
would really be useful. (FWIW, I asked a similar question when FDS first
was released, but didn't have another product to point to as a comparable
implementation at the time. Haven't looked at FDS for a while,
so I'm hoping some things might have changed :) )</SPAN></FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2><SPAN class=734582418-14092007>Second, can it log
to syslog (or some centralized logging facility), rather than local files?
I run a load balanced cluster with ~20 Sun Directory server machines in it,
and troubleshooting things in access/error logs is a real pain because I have to
look at 20 machines to find which server the connection went to so I can find
the correct log entries to find out what's going on. Has RH added other
options to logging to log to syslog-ng, etc so that we can create one
consolidated set of logs?</SPAN></FONT></DIV>
