I'm not sure where the whole "LDAP IS NOT A DATABASE" comment comes from. It is made very clear that it's not. There are many examples showing that today, many vendors use it as a database.. and it is made clear that it is wrong.

There are various improvements that could be made to this book and I appreciate some of the comments that are being made. As a whole, I think that I did a good job with the theory buy could do better in expanding some of the sections and removing areas percieved as filler.
In the programming section, which was put together with significant help from Lane Davis, who was responsible for the C section, we could expand into some realistic do's and don'ts and more commentary on the code itself.
On reshashing man pages, various parameters were explained and then used in subsequent sections. Additional commentary was given to explain their meaning. But I see how it doesn't give the best first impression in that's what someone flipped to first. Regardless, it's nice when reading them in the restroom away from a terminal;) They didn't take up a significant portion of any of the sections.
For any errors, I think the point got across and I still think there the bulk of the book is a useful guide.
