+LDAP support for am-utils was originally done by Leif Johansson
+<leifj@it.su.se>. He no longer maintains it.
+
+The current LDAP support for am-utils is for LDAPv2 only. Reportedly,
+small changes are needed to support LDAPv3. Volunteers and patches are
+welcome.
+
+There are two files in this directory that relate to LDAP:
+
+ldap-id.txt:
+
+ This is an experimental schema for amd mount maps in LDAP. Since
+ LDAP isn't maintained now, this code may not match with either the
+ current ldap_info.c code or with Amd mount maps in general.
+
+ The schema is written in the form of an internet-draft but it has
+ not been published as such. We need volunteers who know and use
+ LDAP to clean it up and further its process of submission.
+
+ldap-id.ms:
+
+ This is the NROFF source of the draft. To generate the text from
+ it, run "nroff -ms ldap-id.ms > ldap-id.txt"
+
+Erez.
