Has anyone tried (and succeeded) running the Fedora Directory Server package on a SuSE instalation?

Or is there anything equivalent to it? I want to build a LDAP server for my network, but all the tutorials i have plowed through leaves me with nonfunctional LDAP.

I want a easy to manage (prefarable GUI), fully functional local domain login server. I run a mixed Linux/Widows/OSX network, and i want a centralized login server to manage the whole thing.

If i am barking up the wrong tree with LDAP, please leave me another good alternative.

yes, A collegea of my did it (both on sles and open), master & slave, as DOM-u XEN-images. It did work, but whether it worked better that openldap is open for discussion. Both FDS and openldap produce horrible results if not configured and maintained properly. As for any ldap solution, from what i read on many lists, if properly maintained (!!!) it can takes a lot of day-to-day chores away from you. Single place for keeping unix, apache, samba and even asterisk paasswords. Much faster (on reading, mind you) than mysql. OTOH, if a no-good is constanltly fiddling with LDS, not knowing what to do, and what NOT, and not telling the fellow workers, it is a real inferno, The bloke, some kind of ubuntu-convert, has now seen the BSD-light.
