[Eclug] LDAP server recommendation?

Gentlemen;

As some of you were kind enough to answer my ldap research questions I 
have been searching for a good all-around ldap server to support my project.

Of course the standard is most likely OpenLDAP but there is nothing like 
first-hand recommendations from similar developers as to what to use.  I 
am also aware of mozilla's LDAP server project but I would like to stay 
away from java if at all possible.

So, recommendations, suggestions, advice GREATLY appreciated.

Thanks,
