true, as LDAP allows you to define multiple services, it's more useful if you
use entry like

--Snip--
dn: uid=someone,ou=somewhere,o=somecompany,c=FI
uid: someone
objectclass: alltheusualones
service: ftp
service: imap
service: pop
--Snap--

this way it's more extendable, i'm sure that nobody wants to write a schema
that includes every possible service.
