I think VMWare have splitted ESX server in two products, one is free, 
but does not offer all the functionnalities (like vmotion etc.).

That's what we are going to do, at least to begin with. Master should be 
at bo build-farm. I will try t setup auth against this ldap, with 
automatic /home creation.

cool :)

Once FF3 finished, i'll ask you for some help / advices. At least... but 
if you want to involve more than "helping" on the LDAP subject i think 
it will be also very welcomed.
