We need to share diagrams with a lot of people on win32 (they all seem to use 
Visio) so we opted to go the CrossOver Office + Visio 2000 route. It really 
works well and is recommended if you don't mind paying the relevant license 
fees.

See [http://www.codeweavers.com/products/office/].

We use Radius Radiator [www.open.com.au/radiator]. It has numerous auth
modules (LDAP being one). We generally need to do some interesting
things that span multiple databases (LDAP being one) to authenticate a
user.

Radiator can delegate auth requests to an external script which is how we
implement this.

Radiator is not free (and many say it is not very scalable but we have not
run into any issues).

LDAP to DNS gateway [http://ldap2dns.tiscover.com/].

From the site:

ldap2dns is a program to create DNS (Domain Name Service) records 
directly from a LDAP directory.  It can and should be be used to replace 
the secondary name-server by a second primary one.

ldap2dns reduces all kind of administration overhead: No more flat file 
editing, no more zone file editing. After having installed ldap2dns, the 
administrator only has to access the LDAP directory.

Optionally she can add access control for each zone, create a GUI and add 
all other kind of zone and resource record information without interfering 
with the DNS server.

ldap2dns is designed to write ASCII data files used by tinydns from the 
djbdns package, but also may be used to write .db-files used by named as 
found in the BIND package.

Use the iproute2 tool tc to setup CBQ classes that allow you to classify
and manage bandwidth as queues. Or, if your setup is simple and static 
enough use cbq.init to create your CBQ rules for you

I can recommend Radiator by Open Systems Consultants
[http://www.open.com.au/radiator/]. It is not a free piece of software but
is well worth spending the $1,000 (AUD).

It is very configurable and extensible 
[http://www.open.com.au/radiator/technical.html] (it is written in perl 
and can be extended using perl modules). You obviously also get the source 
when you buy it.
