Some project ideas that have come out of discussions at this week's Ubuntu Developer Summit:
- canned slapd.conf / config.ldif with simple tree and Samba3 support
- canned config with Heimdal KDC support
- canned templates to create LDAP users with POSIX, Samba, and KDC
attributes fully populated
- for web2ldap
- plugin for Linux useradd/userdel
I think the canned configs are pretty small projects - just write a config, do some variable substitution on the database suffix etc., and it should be ready to use. We can provide these in the contrib tree with appropriate READMEs. Any volunteers?
I did a script once which asks just a few questions and then setups a tree with support for several services (dns, sudo, dhcp, heimdal kdc, samba, etc) and group based ACLs:

The source is at: http://svn.mandriva.com/cgi-bin/viewvc.cgi/packages/corporate/cs4/devel/open...
It wouldn't be hard to make it a bit more generic and distribution agnostic. Would the project be interest in that?
