Subject: ANN: LDAP-based web phone book (pre-release)

 This is the phone book you get at <URL:http://ldap.lanl.gov/>, which is
 just a nice interface to LDAP with a fixed base domain.  It's like
 other LDAP->web programs available, except that it limits your search a
 little more.  We've found that new users understand it a lot better
 than any other existing software.

This is actually a complete web server which parses RFC-1959 requests
sent over http.  It also acts as a homepage redirector, and has limited
support for serving files.  It uses html.py (included) and caches
frequently-used template pages in memory, so it is *FAST*!

You will also need David Leonard's ldap module, obtainable from
<URL:http://www.it.uq.edu.au/personal/leonard/dc-prj/ldapmodule/>


No documentation yet outside the comments in the code, and there are
certain LANL-isms you will want to remove, but I thought I should get it
out there as a motiviation to myself to polish it up and make a real
release.  Undocumented software is better than no software at all,
right?

Go get it at 
<URL:http://people.lanl.gov/neale/src/phonebook-1.0pre1.tar.gz>
