 All of our users details are currently stored in the zodb, we don't

 just need to use the script once, and then just use LDAP as a backend,
 managing it with a Plone/Zope binding through LDAPUF.

The type of information we need to send to LDAP is too varied to rely
on LDAPUF, so we settled for a periodic update to LDAP using the export
script (there is also a manual override to update or rewrite LDAP
immediately). This allows us to create all manner of interesting
structures in LDAP if we choose to. The update happens every 10 minutes,
which is not an unreasonable delay for this application. Since there are
less than 200 staff, the update is not a big strain on the LDAP server.

 That's almost identical to what I need to do. I want Zope/Plone
 management with an LDAP backend for Plone, ezmlm/qmail lists, and
 svn/trac!

OK, I'll talk to my client about some kind of sharing or collaboration. I
believe we are using ezmlm too, though we haven't yet done the LDAP
integration for our mail server yet, but we are getting there.

 Just out of curiosity, why do you use PAM-LDAP with Apache as opposed

Good question. No major reason, but we expect to use PAM LDAP for other
services on our servers, since LDAP centrally controls our 
authentication, so I took the more general solution.

Ah, I'd be worried whether adding the additional layer (PAM) isn't  
going to slow you down.
