Puppet users - Jun 2007 - Ldap connectivity

I just discovered that puppet makes an assumption about which ruby ldap
implementation is used.  FWIW, ruby/ldap and not net/ldap is the preferred
choice.  

Just curious, why choose on over the other?

Cheers,
Ryan

Well, they have pretty different interfaces as far as I know, but  
mainly, I wrote the LDAP support before I knew that net/ldap  
existed.  It''d be good to port, since net/ldap is pure ruby (AFAIK),  
but this hasn''t been a priority for anyone that I''ve seen.
