I mentioned there was a discussion of a similar request for
new userID from a case of Nico's. That case seems to be
PSARC/2008/507 OpenLDAP for OpenSolaris. I thought there
was more discussion than seems to be in the case log.
Possibly it occurred off line. Perhaps I misremembered.
Perhaps someone else has the case I was thinking of.
