Okay, I'm convinced. I think the best way of going about it would be to take
the LDP's two LDAP documents (LDAP HOWTO & LDAP Authentication HOWTO), add
some very practical Debian guidelines (preferably as note points so other
distribution users can add their directions) and combining them into one
great tome. :)
I'm doing some LDAP migrations in the next few weeks too, and can assign
some manpower to this task. Groovy.
