Currently there is no ldap client of any sort for plan9 (unless somone
knows different?). I was looking at the RFCs again over chirstmas but
once again I have recoiled from the complexity of it.

I imagine an ldap client which provides a number of interface
directories, one of them which allows arbitary searches of the
ldap database, and perhaps others which hold cached info in the
form of flat files.

One of these flat files could be DNS info from LDAP in ndb(6) format
which you could simply reference in /lib/ndb/local, e.g.

	database=
		file=/lib/ndb/root
		file=/lib/ndb/local
		file=/lib/ndb/common
		file=/mnt/ldap/ndb

This is all very neat but vapourware at present - sorry, If I do get
around to such a thing I will announce it here.

-Steve
