huh? Can you explain further?

ILS is not LDAP, that is why you need the NDK to be able to use ILS with
OpenLDAP. GnomeMeeting is using ILS to stay compatible with Netmeeting
clients, but we could move to pure LDAP at some point.

There is an NDK mailing list and a contact address if you need help
setting up the NDK.
