LDAP maps
---------

   LDAP (Lightweight Directory Access Protocol) maps do not support
cache mode `all' and, when caching is enabled, have a default cache mode
of `inc'.

   For example, an Amd map `amd.home' that looks as follows:

     /defaults    opts:=rw,intr;type:=link
     
     zing         -rhost:=shekel \
                  host==shekel \
                  host!=shekel;type:=nfs

when converted to LDAP (Note: amd2ldif), will result in the following
LDAP database:
     $ amd2ldif amd.home CUCS < amd.home
     dn: cn=amdmap timestamp, CUCS
     cn             : amdmap timestamp
     objectClass    : amdmapTimestamp
     amdmapTimestamp: 873071363
     
     dn: cn=amdmap amd.home[/defaults], CUCS
     cn          : amdmap amd.home[/defaults]
     objectClass : amdmap
     amdmapName  : amd.home
     amdmapKey   : /defaults
     amdmapValue : opts:=rw,intr;type:=link
     
     dn: cn=amdmap amd.home[], CUCS
     cn          : amdmap amd.home[]
     objectClass : amdmap
     amdmapName  : amd.home
     amdmapKey   :
     amdmapValue :
     
     dn: cn=amdmap amd.home[zing], CUCS
     cn          : amdmap amd.home[zing]
     objectClass : amdmap
     amdmapName  : amd.home
     amdmapKey   : zing
     amdmapValue : -rhost:=shekel host==shekel host!=shekel;type:=nfs
