Re: A Beginer Question .. HELP!
>C'mon Adam, you could at least be more specific.
Why? The OpenLDAP site is VERY specific. Go to Linux.Com and search on
"ldap", there are almost a dozen links.

I wouldn't wish those RFCs on my worst enemy (well, maybe my WORST enemy,
but not my second worst). There are lots of other, more user-level,
documents. Again - A search of Linux.Com

I won't disagree there. So is learning TCP/IP, OSPF, C, XML... or auto
mechanics, wine making, or medievil poetry.

It is hard to get anymore straight forward than -

Darn tootin'. And why talk now? Many people on this list *WROTE* the
documentation. We talked already, and bothered to write it down.

Your scope is too narrow. There are several very good books on LDAP.
So what if they don't cover OpenLDAP. They cover the protocol, the data
model, the schema concepts. If you *understand* those things, most of
slapd's behaviour is obvious.
