Re: o'reilly and ldap book

[Mark W. <mew...@un...>]

Well all I can say is that Graham and I did a heck of a job promoting LDAP at
O'Reilly (I'm still regaining my voice !). And among the hottest topics that I ran
across were adding LDAP support to products. Our tutorial on Net::LDAP also seemed
to go over well.

So I can't say that LDAP isn't growing in people's minds from the lack of effort ;).
