He *might* be able to sell the various branch offices on a solution that uses LDAP or similar, where each branch manages its section of the LDAP tree,
I don't think you can do that because you need to consolidate the branches into a single namespace with some means of dealing with clashes. Most of the complexity of the SLB Exim/LDAP system is for handling fuzzy matching and name clashes - though see http://www.sendmail.org/faq/section3.html#3.5
and the only centralized part the offices would have to trust HQ to do is possibly run a robust redirector to the various LDAP servers.
That's not necessary if the sites have local LDAP database replicas. Tony. -- f.a.n.finch <dot () dotat at> http://dotat.at/ BISCAY: WEST 5 OR 6 BECOMING VARIABLE 3 OR 4. SHOWERS AT FIRST. MODERATE OR GOOD.
