For example some command/script that would say: .away file: missing (... similar checks for other files/things omitted here ...) And then a person who has created a .devaway file can notice the discrepancy. > - complaints that LDAP is too hard to use. Maybe we need better scripts and better documentation? I think the main problem might be that LDAP is too alien for many people. My opinion: I have no problem using Gentoo LDAP, but would appreciate some usability improvements. :) > - need to remember your LDAP password!
