In what way?

The folks at Boeing are doing some interesting (though proprietary)
LDAP integration things with the 1.94 version.

MajorCool allows LDAP integration via a 'siteaddr' module. A sample
is included. This provides name-to-address translation on the web
side. eg, our users supply a real name and the 'siteaddr' LDAP query 
returns a list of all possible email addresses this person is known
by. This data is then used to identify all lists subscribed to.

There is no such feature at the Majordomo (email-only) level.  Mj2
has an "address transform" that could be used along similar lines to
MajorCool's 'siteaddr', but I have not yet looked into it.  In
addition, I had proposed an LDAP-based "dynamic list" feature for
Mj2. (The idea was not shot down; someone would just have to write
it.)
