No, I didn't, you just misunderstood what I was saying.
I'm sorry if I worded it poorly, but don't tell me what
I meant, only I know that :)

It seems that ldap entries have uids -- why not associate in the
other direction? I think it would be a mistake to make gnucash a
an ldap server. Why should we reinvent openldap?

If the server maintenence issues are that hard, then maybe we should
use the evolution component directly, and the user can enable ldap
from there if they need it, otherwise use a local store.
