Amen! I've been at this for two years now and I'm still finding sources
of information -- and correcting the mistakes I've made as I've deployed
openldap because of things that I just plain didn't know. If openLDAP
was the ONLY thing I had to do, this would be a lot easier. The problem
is I'm supporting an entire university and projects (like deploy
openLDAP) is something that has to be fit in between phone calls (and
managements sudden whim of something else having to be done yesterday),
so it is easy to get very disjointed and when there isn't a single
comprehensive reference to look to, easy to get confused.
