Hi
Whats wrong with the home users? You can bind the ldap server only to
the localhost device. And if all the command line tools are customized
for that, it would not make any changes for the home users. They can
just create, modify and delete users as the normal passwd database. But
it would get many advantages for the professional users and the network
administrators. Think about all the other "operating systems" which have
user directory support. There are many other possibilities for future
releases such as saving the bind (DNS) structure inside the ldap,
hosting the printers information from cups in the ldap, mail routing
information for postfix and courier etc. This main ldap infrastructure
would be a big improvement to the distribution. And there are many other
daemons which running on a "normal" system, one more whould doesn't matter.

In general? Yikes! There's home users using Fedora, why throw LDAP unto
them - there's another daemon which has to run and be secured.
