People...

I have a idea about OpenLDAP documentation. There´s a good documentation at
OpenLDAP website. Why not create more efforts to create a Howto series? I´m
writing constantlty a howto week´s about basic OpenLDAP features, like some
integrations and hints. We can create something like a wiki, using the
OpenLDAP documentation and "translate" this things to Howto´s.

Horward, we can help your efforts? Thanks for your good work.

Cheers.
