Re: Anyone interested in a OpenLDAP => BeOS Port?
It wouldn't be too hard to write a BFS backend for openldap.
I should check out what would be required.
The easiest way to store the info would be to make a dir tree that
resembles a hash table, then store attributes on the directories, and on
zero byte files within. In fact you could just make all containers dirs,
and all leafs files. ;)
