Do we skip that bit and just talk about config or \
what?<br></blockquote><div><br>I&#39;d be inclined to document a source build, from \
the current release, at least then people would end up with a newer version and  \
dependencies were provided (bdb etc.,) as part. Describing using binary packages is \
going to be a morass of distribution specific details and caviats, package names \
&amp; versions etc., a source build instruction (with explicit links to third party \
libraries) is going to date more slowly and be simpler to read.<br> <br>Then maybe \
show a script to generate some random test data (such as <a \
href="https://www.opends.org/wiki/page/MakeLdif">Make LDIF from OpenDS</a>), and how \
to load it into an ldap instance and get it running etc., or documetn how to load \
some canned test data.<br> <br>And then a basic example of how to run ldapsearch, \
ldapmodify and a list of GUI tools such as Apache Directory Studio, \
etc.,<br><br>Running through a source build is not that hard if documented, \
distribution binaries / libraries are usually very outdated / broken. <br> \

What about adopting the Zytrax stuff, updating it and get them to do a 301<br>
redirect to our wiki?<br></blockquote><div><br>I&#39;m sure you could ask. But it \
might not be actively supported anymore, so maybe noone to ask .. \
