I'll look forward to it, I have many O'Reilly books, and the only one that ever disappointed me was programming Python". (unlike many other books in the computers section, half of which are doorstops.) :)

Another fellow recommended "Understanding and Deploying LDAP Directory Services", which I ordered last night from Amazon.

I'll be honest here... I can't ask any good questions until I know what I want for the company, which I don't yet... We use a couple of OpenBSD computers here at work for firewalling and fileserving, and both use Samba.  Altering a smb.conf file the other day brought me into the Samba docs, where  LDAP is briefly mentioned. When I further looked into what LDAP is and what it does, I believe it may solve a longtime problem of departmental data  consolidation.

Good luck on the book...
