at all that the "L" in LDAP is 'light' at all, however...

The lightweight bit is relative to X.500 on some historical protocol stack that no one ever actually used (well possibly someone somewhere, but I never did).

I've always managed to look at what I needed to do with LDAP and discover I could use Postgres instead, although I've always had that feeling that some aspect of the zen of programming was lost in my approach here, I've never pinned down what exactly. PAM can hide a multitude of sins.

However I suspect integrating Windows client might have forced me to do something differently, possibly switch careers.
