RE: duplicate entries

["Joe Garcia" <jgarcia@gnncast.net>]

yes, instead of using their their CN use their UID which is garenteed to be
unique.  Don't use O and OU, use DC.  I forget what U Pitt's FQDN is so I
will use my alma-mater(University of Scranton) as an example here:

dn: UID=jgarcia, DC=UofS, DC=edu

Joe
