Don`t misunderstand me.=20
Yes, it all works good and very stable.
But won`t it be easier to maintain the Stuff if the "databases" are store=
d in=20
LDAP (or if they were somehow glued with LDAP)?

Imho it`s a question of managebility and of interoperability.

It`s great to think of ptserver DB be in LDAP together with a good schema=
=2E
Then use a MIT Kerberos V5. Document the Thing very well, and acceptance =
will=20
greatly increase, because it would be much easier to write Administration=
=20
frontends. And one can use existing Tools for LDAP.

Why should I want to admin LDAP Corp. Directory, PT DB and Kerberos?
It`s very hard to keep it in sync.=20

(This words only for ptserver db...)
