hey
I'll just pipe in with one more comment.
One reason performance is bad with openldap-sql because they can't assume the naming attribute is always the same. It's a very long story.
I made a change to my server to assume a fixed naming attribute. The maintainer naturally didn't like it. I should have asked him if he'd consider it as a config file option that was "not recommended."
Anyway, it made ldap queries on that fixed naming attribute (uid) go from 10 seconds to under 1 second! This is one of several reasons the design of ldap does not fit well with sql.

OpenLDAP already does this. It can use PostgreSQL, MySQL, BDB, and many other backends. I'm not sure about the other items on the list, but it might be a good idea to double-check that they don't already exist as well.
OpenLDAP can indeed access and SQL backend, but isn't really recommended. The tuned BDB based backends are going to give you much better performance. Of coure, if it's just for personal use, speed isn't likely to matter much.
