When I looked at the documentation that came with openldap, I got lost in the weeds, overwelmed and my head was swimming. For whatever reason, it just looked like complete over-kill to me. I really don't have a good grasp on what LDAP can do for me. I originally thought it was a litteral directory server like for mail and address books; that was probably my first mistake.:) On Thu, May 31, 2007 at 12:40:53PM -0500, Terry Klarich wrote: > You want to look at openldap.
