True! But many won't know how.

Yes, but it wasn't eDirectory then, it was NDS, and you couldn't have
done it anyway. That's what I said.

In my posting, all that I said was, that in Openldap you can make a CN
that isn't part of an RDN what you like. And many people have already
done so. And when they get to update their LDAP software, they're in for
a rude awakening. Many with organization-wide systems - just think of
it.
