I've now written up what I hope is a comprehensive comparison of RFC2307, RFC2307bis and DBIS (a proposed replacement for them). I was motivated to do this after talking recently with some software vendors who seemed to misunderstand DBIS, thinking that they could get all the benefits of DBIS from their RFC2307 client software just by remapping some attributes. The write-up below should hopefully shed more light on what you can do, what you can't do, and why DBIS is a big improvement over RFC2307 or RFC2307bis. Feature comparison: https://sourceforge.net/p/dbis/wiki/DBIS%20and%20RFC2307%20-%20A%20Comparison/ Schema comparison: https://sourceforge.net/p/dbis/wiki/DBIS%20and%20RFC2307%20schemas/ Comments welcome as always. Note that DBIS is still a work in progress, and I will gladly receive and consider feature requests. I'm also looking for individuals who can test DBIS on other platforms and provide patches where necessary, as I only have access to OpenSuSE, RHEL and Solaris hosts. Best regards, Mark Bannister.
