There is no one way, there aren't just 10 ways to use it but rather it is entirely up to you, the admin to use it in any way you see fit and it is only the RFC's that prescribe what it must do for compliance that it seeks to serve. That said, you are probably best off going to the Administrator's Guide on OpenLDAP's own website for starting out... http://www.openldap.org/doc/admin23/ (note the admin23 refers to OpenLDAP 2.3.x which is I believe the version you are looking at on a current Fedora) Craig
