As far as I can tell, our problem is not so much priority of affiliation as presenting the info in a way that applications can use for making access-control decisions. Lots of policies are local. Contrived example: Campus A may want to give wireless access to students and faculty of campus B, but only to faculty of campus C. Not all these problems are directory problems of course, but the directory problem, I guess, is to try to anticipate the needs and limitations of the applications that are going to be using it. -- --Michael J.
