You're right but having a lot of access rights in OpenLDAP can make it 
unusable: we had something like 20 or 25 rules for an
OpenLDAP (on a x86 bi-pro 600) to handle mail routing and user accounts. When 
the load increased (a little), the OpenLDAP server
started to fail to respond to requests every 2 or 3 hours ! Without these 
access rules, there's no problem.


Another point is that using ldap to store user info increase GNUstep 
dependencies.
