I think contrib is the right place for now. It seems to me that the requirements here are still a moving target, so it's better in contrib. (Contrib items are free to add new features independent of the rest of the release cycle. Items in the main slapd/overlays are more constrained to bugfixes-only within a release cycle.) -- -- Howard Chu CTO, Symas Corp. http://www.symas.com Director, Highland Sun http://highlandsun.com/hyc/ Chief Architect, OpenLDAP http://www.openldap.org/project/
