NetScape! A lot of the directory server code originally was part of netscape and then had
some adventures going through SUN, AOL and finally Red Hat and OpenSource.

This is contrast to NS in macos (nextstep) and nsswitch (name-service switch) or ns
(nanoseconds) or any of the other overloaded meanings that NS has in our world.
