I probably am, heh. I figured writing up this type of code would be a good
idea if there was just some test code floating around that had not been
decided on by anyone.

Yes, and seperation of domains with ACPs if required, rather than just
one, large 'company-wide' directory.

That's exactly what it is. The idea here is that the ultimate goal of this

I'll need to look into this patch and be sure it has the features we
need. Sounds like it will run scripts of my choice depending upon a certian
API call such as 'adduser' or 'adddomain'.

I don't have it in CVS, but I'm happy to send you over our test
slapd.conf, and LDIF files. We also have pretty detailed 6-step
documentation on getting the database started.
