Oops, all I saw was Thursday - LDAP.... My brain didn't even take in the
fact the 21st had passed.

Maybe I can make it to a weekend installfest sometime, weekday meetings
are almost impossible, but I won't oppose them since I'm pretty much the
only person like this.

Well, at least you got basic heirachy down, ldap can be a beast to learn
to basics on. I'm wondering why a talk on compiling was needed? Most
people will use and rpm or a deb, or will be able to config/compile. Pam
ldap and qmail-ldap are pretty easy to use, once you get the basic idea.
It's setting up a schema and lots of other stuff that makes it tricky.

Oh well, maybe some other time.
