Jerry,
Thanks for your mail and interest in contributing to the gentoo project.
As some people volunteered for it in the past, this guide was not
implemented on the list. However, as there is an open bug, and some
activity. I strongly suggest you to contact the gdp (gentoo documentation
project)(2) for info/help, which are already cc'ed on this mail. The best
course of action is to start supplying your ideas/patches, to the open ldap
bug #176075 (3).
Kind regards,

Onderwerp: LDAP documentation
Recruiters,
I'm sorry, but this task is not listed on your GDP Roadmap. However, I
think it's something that needs done, and I'm willing to contribute, if I
can.
Re:
http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/ldap-howto.xml
The Gentoo Guild to OpenLDAP Authentication bears a disclaimer "This
document is not valid and is not maintained anymore." I'm currently doing a
few Gentoo/LDAP roll outs, and I've been struggling to find the correct
information. The information is out there, but unfortunately not all in one
place. I've managed to collect all the steps for my implementation,
understand them, and have tested them on a standalone network prior to my
implementations. The document, as disclaimed, is in need of updating, and I
for one, think that Gentoo NEEDS a valid LDAP implementation document.
I've been a UNIX user since 1988, Solaris admin since 1991, heavy Linux user
(Linux From Scratch distribution maintainer) since 1996, and Gentoo since
2005 (with a bit of Redhat thrown in there somewhere!). I've not really
contributed anything of substance (couple of suggestions/documentation
fixes/bugs) back to Gentoo since I've used it, but since I'm a fairly
decent writer, I thought perhaps this was a good place to start.
Therefore, I propose to help update (and for a time, maintain) the page, so
we can remove it's (embarrassing) disclaimer! I'm happy to submit my
proposed page to any reviewers, as needed.
Let me know if I can be of service.
Regards,
