I have done some research on LDAP for my clients.  I wanted to use it
to enable directory service for non-MS clients.  Your intent to enable
LDAP in the OS is commendable.

I ask you, as someone well versed in LDAP...

 1) Is it good for anything besides a network distributed database?
    This may sound odd.  Are these other applications for LDAP that
    would make sense for applications other than e-mail?
 2) Do we have an LDAP browser?  I tried the Windows version that
    Michigan distributed and found it wanting.

Cheers.
