Ah ha! I knew it was something like that. :)
In any case, yes, eventually a central X.500 directory would be
wonderful - however the INFO.TXT + demon-spawn-of-CSV-infofields is
probably a nice and quick hack to throw together in an afternoon.
Hell, we can populate the X.500 dir from the textfiles eventually.
That's a good point. I think you've just motivated me to finally get
around to getting the VAX 4000/500 cluster set back up. I should really
find the DSSI cables I need to use the HSD30 (I *think* it's one of those,
I really need to check, I forget now) in place to start using that.
Although I lack the correct SCSI disks to put on it. Eh, maybe I'll get
the FDDI boards setup and get a FDDI interface into the fileserver and
just use NFS.
