We could really use a decent admin tool for the Directory Server... tried Sun Management Console (SMC) on Solaris 9 for DS5.2 and it was unusable. Directory Editor (from the Enterprise version of DS) is way too heavy & complex in setup for a department... requires an app server. I just want to easily add POSIX users, groups, etc. to DS5.2, so we can replace NIS with LDAP. The LDAP admin console can't/shouldn't do this, either.

Will pam_unix and pam_ldap be enhanced to use persistent connections to back-end sources (e.g., LDAP)? The current versions open dozens of TCP connections per login session, which seems extremely wasteful.

Dave, We are not addressing directory server admin interface in these project. For DS related admin GUI enhancements, you probably have to wait for the next version of Directory server (i.e 6.0) which is currently in beta.
