	Very powerful "online phonebook on steriods."  Store all sorts of
user related info (passwords, username, calendar info, blah, blah).  Lot's
of programs/programming languages support LDAP (Netscape Messenger (look
up email addresses), Netscape Calendar, PHP3, PERL).  Definitely worth it
if you have a large client base.
