I (and others at Sun) also appreciate the contribution Novell has made
to MIT's krb code base (it is a lot of new code).  While I understand
Novell's disappointment that LDAP support is being held back I do think
that when we get the major issues sorted out before release this will
better serve the users/admins.  I look forward to helping in this
effort.
