I don't want to start a "me too" thread here but I just wanted to reinforce the
recomendation for "Understanding and ...". It is very important to ask yourself
the correct questions at the start as once you have changed over to using your
directory productively it is not so easy to make changes to the basic structure.
The first third of the book deals in detail with this deployment stage. The
LDAP Bible - It also looks very impressive on the bookshelf in work!
