There are many _VERY_ long threads about this. Please dig through the archives. I do not want another long thread like this to start up again - it's just not bandwidth-smart. I will summate the thread though: MySQL is too big and cumbersome, OpenLDAP would be the best solution; however, it is not feasable to be implemented any time soon. -- Zack Gilburd http://tehunlose.com GnuPG Key ID: A79A45668240AB6C
