Hello, The installer for Fedora DS asks about which directory server should be the "Configuration Directory Server." My understanding is that this configuration directory server stores information about the Fedora/Netscape console (e.g., which servers show up in the console screen, etc.) Is this the only special role played by the Configuration Directory Server, or does it also store other configuration (for example, is it also a central repository for a common cn=config)? My hunch is it''s only about the console, but just wanted to confirm this. Thanks! -- George

In the past, this also held config info for stuff like the Netscape Messaging server, etc. However, (I''m pretty sure) you can use the directory server without the admin server/o=netscaperoot tree, etc. It''s just easier to administer with the console that creating everything via command line, and you need it for that. - Jeff
