libconf doesn't store the config information elsewhere than where they are - in the config files. Libconf provides a mapping of these information into a convenient perl structure. It is planed to have an xml output, and a ldap output. You would then be able to ask libconf to write an xml file from a standard config file. Or to feed a ldap base. If you think this should be done in priority, I can work on it soon. But we should agere on a dtd then. > > As a system admin I am always looking for ways to make > my job easier.

I would prefer directly put the infos in ldap then :) -- dams
