Re: Suggestion for OpenLDAP 2.2 Admin Guide (ITS#3319)

[Kurt@OpenLDAP.org]

How to configure ones environment depends from platform
to platform and even deployment to deployment, hence the
material you suggest seems more suitable for the platform
specific portion of the FAQ than the Admin Guide.  The
FAQ is interactive, please feel free to add appropriate
answers to it.
