---------------------------
20October 2002 Changes
1. Added another "OpenLDAP + SASL + GSSAPI" slide, and reorganized the
existing one.  These instructions are more complete and more
non-Kerberos-V-guru friendly.
2. Added a set of "OpenLDAP + SASL + GSSAPI" that cover the common error
messages encountered when OpenLDAP and Kerberos is misconfigured (which
is easy to do).
3. Added a ldap_set_options slide to the "C" section, noting that LDAPv2
is always the default.
4. Finally did the "What is Active Directory" slide.
5. Added a Star Office / Open Office section covering creating an LDAP
address book, browsing the address book, and inserting data into a
spread sheet.

---------------------------
08September2002 Changes
1. Added "Supported Advanced Features" slide to OpenLDAP overview
2. Added "Unsupported Advanced Features" slide to OpenLDAP overview
3. Added slide for Sympa mail list package
4. Added slide for hasSubordinates attribute
5. Added slide about the authconfig utility
6. Fixed missing dc= before estate1 in roodn line of back-passwd slide
7. Fixed the naming of "<" as "greater than" sign when it is actually a
less than sign.  Yes, I went to public school.
8. Gave defaultsearchbase directive its own slide as this is a useful,
and often overlooked, trick.
9. Added a slide for suffixAlias in the "OpenLDAP Configuration,
Backends" section
10. Added "-1" to list list of log levels
11. Changed the black lines in the log levels list to "green 8".  Yay! 
I can read them now. :)
12. Moved the back-ldbm slide into the back-* section, rather than in
the general configuration section
13. Added a pair of back-bdb slides to the back-* section
14. Retooled the slapadd slide.
15. Started in on the PHP section

-----------------------------------------------------
07July2002 Changes.
1. Many type and spelling fixes.
2. Changed several of the 'tables' (such as attribute matching rules,
etc..) into inserted spreadsheet objects.  This makes layout and
appearance much better as Open Office has a habit of eating multiple
tabs.
3. Completed section on using the MUA Pine with LDAP
4. Added slide concerning RFC2739 (calEntry) to the Common Objectclasses
section
5. New section on Ximian Evolution and LDAP,  including the mapping of
contact information fields to LDAP attributes and the evolutionPerson
objectclass.
6. Some small corrections in the section concerning Turba.
7. Added slide referencing http://kalamazoolinux.org/projects/awilliam/
and this list.
