I notice:

This is where mine would fit in if it existed, but I see smbk5pwd
sneaked in there.
When I'm not doing doc project work (and Suretec work), I'm hacking on
valsort.c for learning, and making valregex.c from it.
This uses PCRE to apply regex to attribute values and apply your
captures to a configured string etc., then return that in a search response.
Kind of like a sed on attribute values. For things like:
"/home/users/(.*)" and returning "/home/$1" etc.
valregex-attr homeDirectory ou=Users,dc=example,dc=com /home/user/(.*)
/home/$1
I thought a new overlay for this, rather than trying to get my head
round rwm would be better. As rwm only does attribute name stuff, not
values.
Then next on my list is to add a local db search to translucent.c so you
can search for attributes not just on the remote db.
This will all help for our docs (I'll know more internals), and I can
help with the devel docs (creating more).
That's just another plan for the future.
Gavin.
