	Title		: An Approach for Using LDAP as a Network Information 
                          Service
	Author(s)	: L. Howard, M. Ansari

This document describes a mechanism for mapping entities related to
TCP/IP and the UNIX system into X.500 [X500] entries so that they
may be resolved with the Lightweight Directory Access Protocol
[RFC2251]. A set of attribute types and object classes are pro-
posed, along with specific guidelines for interpreting them.
The intention is to assist the deployment of LDAP as an organiza-
tional nameservice. No proposed solutions are intended as standards
for the Internet.  Rather, it is hoped that a general consensus
will emerge as to the appropriate solution to such problems, lead-
ing eventually to the adoption of standards. The proposed mechanism
has already been implemented with some success.

NOTE:	The mail server at ietf.org can return the document in
	MIME-encoded form by using the "mpack" utility.  To use this
	feature, insert the command "ENCODING mime" before the "FILE"
	command.  To decode the response(s), you will need "munpack" or
	a MIME-compliant mail reader.  Different MIME-compliant mail readers
	exhibit different behavior, especially when dealing with
	"multipart" MIME messages (i.e. documents which have been split
	up into multiple messages), so check your local documentation on
	how to manipulate these messages.
