To be honest,  I haven't done much operationally with the packages after 
building them.  The extent of my testing was pretty much install,  fire up 
admin and slap services and connect with the console and create a couple 
entries.  But now that you mention it,  I was wondering about ldap 
benchmarking suites and will pop a note off to the list to see what everyone 
uses.

I'm still running 1.0.4 derived from an alien'd rpm on our boxes currently.  I 
still have some packaging work to do on my 1.1.0 binaries before I move our 
packages to our stable repo.
