It's a bit vague (changelog's for various changes since 3.0.0) but
apparently they've fixed 'more' ldap group mappings
searches...undoubtedly good - does that mean that it would be safe to
have Computers in their own ou or even with 3.0.1 would they still have
to be in ou=People?

I haven't a clue where AS 3 fits in RH 8/9 scheme - me thinks more like
9. I have been reticent to add 'value' to the Red Hat offering but ended
up compiling Netatalk and Webmin from source since they aren't
supported. I am gonna have to think about this one...

Thanks,
