This sounds great, and offers people not running openldap the benefits of
it, transparently. My only qualm is, the reason I'm using LDAP is for
centralization of information. I want to be able to edit a users entry in
one place, not two. Otherwise, I've really gained nothing, except
peformance, by going from quota lookups in files to quota lookups in ldap.
