wasted space?

["Kevin J. Menard, Jr." <kmenard@WPI.EDU>]

Hi,

   Do attributes without values consume space?  For instance, if I have 300
   inetorgperson entries, and only use 3 or 4 of the possible attributes, do I
   suffer for all those attributes I don't use?  And in this case, would it be
   best to just create my own class with just the attributes I need (at least
   need for now ;)).

   And has anyone set up entries for a variety of services?  I'm trying to come
   up with the best way to have one entry per user, but all that one entry to
   have IMAP/POP, SMTP, HTTP, and FTP access.  For instance, I was thinking an
   attribute called "service" and then add all these values.  I figure that
   would require me to write a new schema file though.  But I thought this way,
   I could just look up per "service" for each user and see if he should be
   granted ftp access or allowed to send/receive mail.

   I was also hoping to do this for more than one domain, so should I adopt a
   naming conventions in slap everyone in ou = users, o = blah?  Or should I
   have a users ou per domain?  I figured the former would be quicker for
   searches and lookups and what not (at least for software where you configure
   a base search).

   Any info would be appreciated.

   And I know some of you are probably thinking ISPMan.  While ISPMan will do
   all this automagically for me, I would like to learn how to do it manually.

   Thanks a lot.
