Fedora directory users - Jan 2006 - ldap scheme/site survey troubles

Hi,

I''m new at ldap/directory services, and I''s like to get some
advice setting
up a directory server.
While reading the docs, some thing are clear while other things are not that
clear. I''m at the stage of survey/scheme drawing now.

The directory server will be used for authenticating and assigning
rights/quota for about 70 users.
This is for a hobby network and we''re migrating the servers from
windows to
linux. I myself use linux for 1 ½ year now.

What I got so far is the folowing:
2 domains (one primary, one for experimenting)
3 servers (file-, gateway/proxy- and web); can be expanded to 9)
4 user groups (users, companies, power-users and administrators)
8 services (pop mail, imap mail, sendmail/postfix, website/homepages, ftp,
samba and nfs, dns)

The organisation (non-profit) is called dins. And we live in the
netherlands. Our top-level name should be o=dins, c=nl. After this I begin
to run in circles. I think I fail to see something.

Who is willing to help me getting the scheme right and/or discuss it over
the mail?

Look here:

http://www.redhat.com/docs/manuals/dir-server/deploy/7.1/deployTOC.html

It''s a nice, slow intro into a preliminary survey.  I also faced some
of your dilemmas and reading
that helped a lot.

I''d suggest keeping things real simple, a multi master setup, tree
organized by high level
business units.  Leave out fancy stuff and don''t go too deep, you
should be OK for ~70 users.
