Yes, I guess that this works pretty well when you deploy OpenLDAP (or
basically any other software) at a single customer. It gets harder when
you ship OpenLDAP as a part of a product,
I already imagined what your aim is. ;-)
that is also used by people
that are not too familiar with OpenLDAP. Ok, one might argue now, that
people not really familiar with OpenLDAP should not use it, but I tend
to disagree a bit here ;).
It's always difficult to draw the line. At least the approach with
back-config makes it easier for a tool like yast to stay away from
configuration changes made by a sophisticated admin compared to parsing
full text files.
