Oh, if it's your *own* closed provisioning system, then life should be
pretty easy.

Your choice of:

(1) Extract your accounts periodically into a flat file in userdb format,
get the client machines to pull it across using rsync, and do a 'linnet
mkdb' afterwards

(2) Write a provisioning module for your system which inserts/modifies/
deletes records in an LDAP database.

(The second is probably a bit more 'real time', and the first is probably
the easiest to implement)

I need to write some notes on this for the Linnet handbook - as well as
notes on mailbox migration, building and managing LDAP databases, and lots
of other things.

Regards,

Brian.
