Comment 14 for bug 463684

Murray's comments is exactly what I was expecting to happen, and what I warned of in the bug i filled [442498].

As I mentioned, not everyone who wishes to use openldap is a system administrator who wishes to setup a production ldap environment.

Many are people who need to use an ldap server, and who are NOT interested in wasting hours and hours learning all the complexity of openldap's cn=config

Those people will try ubuntu, waste time struggling to get it working, give up and think 'ubuntu sucks'

What really is rubbing salt in the wound, is that this is NOT a question of something that is missing and that needs to be added. it is *NOT* a documentation problem (although documentation quality makes things even worse)

The debconf script that would create a completely working-out-of-the-box system EXISTED in the last version, and supported cn=config, and had all the flexibility one might need since they were debconf-based.

So no extra work is required. This whole situation has been created due to the REMOVAL of functionality that worked fine, at the cost of making openldap UNUSABLE for a significant portion of people who who need it, for NO BENEFIT WHATSOEVER
