Ayup! I've been looking for a good book on LDAP of *any* kind for a
couple of years now. There are a 3 or 4 out there, but nothing
really on technical side of running an LDAP server, and getting
information into and out of it. There seems to be a lot on building
applications to *use* an already existing LDAP server, which really
doesn't do you much good if you can't figure out how to set the damn
thing up and populate it to begin with!

There's one by Marc Wilcox, published by Wrox Press, called
Implementing LDAP. The book focuses mostly on the Netscape server,
and is a couple years old, but has a decent amount on OpenLDAP as
well. The focus on the Netscape server is due to Marc's involvement
with and development for Netscape I assume. The book is pretty
decent, but still not the "Sysadmin's Guide to OpenLDAP" I'd prefer
existed :(

It may look like I'm just sitting here doing nothing,
but I'm really actively waiting for all my problems to go away.
If you're not having fun, you're not doing it right!
