****Re: Linux Administration - Users in (any) database howto/why...

open-LikeWise will not synchronise as far as i can tell, its more of a
authentication tool, or the free one is. but if your on a Linux
machine and need to auth against a Domain its handy.

It also appears that the next version of freeIPA (2.0) is looking to
make it less fedora only. which will be very nice. but im unsure of
that. in any case it is a more complete integration. if you don't mind
only useing fedora.
