NetWare uses Novell SLP, which provides
caching of Directory Agent scope
information in eDirectory. This provides for
sharing of scope information among DAs.
Novell SLP is not available on Linux.
OpenSLP on Linux is not customized to
provide DA synchronization. Therefore, DA
synchronization is only available for
eDirectory on NetWare.
