basic directory structure

[Louis-David Mitterrand <cunctator@apartia.ch>]

What is the best directory structure to store vendors, clients, partners
and other contacts of a company?

1) use a hierarchy like: 

dc=com-->dc=our-company-->ou=Contacts-->ou=Vendors-->cn=Vendor Person1
                                     |
                                     `->ou=Clients-->cn=Client Person2
                                     |
                                     `->ou=Partners

2) store contacts under their own hierarchy:

dc=com-->dc=client1-company-->ou=People-->cn=Person1
      |
      `->dc=client2-company-->ou=People-->cn=Person2
      
dc=net-->dc=client3-company-->ou=People-->cn=Person3
      |
      `->dc=client4-company-->ou=People-->cn=Person4

dc=org-->dc=client5-company-->ou=People-->cn=Person5
      |
      `->dc=client6-company-->ou=People-->cn=Person6
