Maybe we could create an "UNIX/Linux Applications" forum that covers LDAP, sendmail, NTP, and other unix/linux apps? in the network computing category? or general category?
I also have been thinking that an "applications" forum might be a good idea. Some of the things you mention like sendmail and ntp seem a little bit more part of the OS. But opinions are going to vary on stuff like that. In addition to LDAP, we have had requests for an Oracle forum which seems way too specific. At first I was thinking about a "database" forum, but that still seems too specific when I considered that we don't have a great location for stuff like web servers.
One possible alternative would be a "server applications" forum since client stuff generally will fit in the desktop forum. But an argument against that is that not all applications fit a client-server mold. (Tripwire for instance.) So I like the applications forum idea. Not sure who its parent should be though.
