> Somehow you are right :-) > X.500 is not usable for yellow-pages > X.500 is not even that good at white pages I am new to this forum, and just beginning to actually work with X.500 implementations. Would you elaborate on your comments? First, why do you say X.500 is "not that good" at whitepages (by this term I believe you mean direct entry lookup by distinguished name)? Are you commenting on current implementations, the design of the DIT, the protocol, etc...? Then, yellow pages (which I assume means searching for all entries which match on some combination of attributes). Thanks, Mike. -------------------- Michael Maciag Ergonomic Consulting maciag@deltanet.com
