1. CDB are read-only: to update a record, you need to rebuild it. It's=20=

ok up to some number of records, but then it becomes very=20
time-consuming (been there, done that, gave up at 100k entries);
2. a *lot* of applications already have support for LDAP: web, ftp,=20
radius, mail, imap, pop3 you name it, you have a version that supports=20=

LDAP;
3. you can even use it as a addressbook at the same time;

Those where some reasons we had to use LDAP over CDB.

*unless* I had a decent LDAP server. My experience with OpenLDAP did=20
not went well, but granted, it was 2 years ago. I'm sure there where=20
improvments in the meantime. 2 years ago, a week into production and=20
all the DB's of OpenLDAP had *major* corruption problems.
