Sensible scheme for password information?



Hello,

I am looking at moving our password information and possibly later more
information to LDAP. I have found a password migration tool by Luke
Howard, and this creates entries for all users like the following:

dn: uid=nfr,ou=People,dc=iae,dc=nl
uid: nfr
cn: Network Flight Recorder
objectClass: top
objectClass: account
objectClass: posixAccount
userPassword: {crypt}*
loginShell: /bin/csh
uidNumber: 300
gidNumber: 300
homeDirectory: /usr/local/nfr
gecos: Network Flight Recorder

I am wondering if it is a good idea to put all entries in objectClass
top. Shouldn't there be only one top object? Is there a standard scheme
for this information, or does everyone invent their own?

Thanks for your answers.

Best regards,
Edwin de Graaf
