Additionally, if you plan to use the contents of the tree as Unix users
and want to have reasonable performance for large trees, you should
either:

- use memberUid attributes
- user member or uniqueMember with user with uid in the DN

The reason for this is that whet you lookup group information the
information returned from a group should also include all the usernames
of the members.

Since you cannot do joins in LDAP, every group with member attributes
such as cn=Joe,ou=People,dc=... will require another lookup per member
to find the username (uid attribute).
