Summary: OpenLDAP shell backend

Initial Comment:
This is a wrapper of Mailman for slapd-shell(5)
OpenLDAP shell backend interface.


Requirement:

o OpenLDAP 2.x
o python-ldap
o Mailman 2.x, of course:).


Installation:

1. Extract tarball.  Place shellbe.py and dumpschema.py
into $prefix/bin, and mailman-list.schema appropriate
location.  Give shellbe.py exec permission.

2. Add schema.  Insert following line into slapd.conf:

    include /the/location/of/mailman-list.schema

  Add database suffix.  Insert following lines into
slapd.conf:

    database shell
    suffix   "ou=Lists,o=My Organization,c=AQ"
    add      /usr/local/mailman/bin/shellbe.py
    delete   /usr/local/mailman/bin/shellbe.py
    modify   /usr/local/mailman/bin/shellbe.py
    search   /usr/local/mailman/bin/shellbe.py

  Then restart slapd.

3. Run (as Mailman user or superuser):

    $ python $prefix/bin/dumpschema.py
ldap://ldap.host/ bind-DN bind-password

  After that, you shall find schemacache.pck in
$varprefix/data directory.

4. Setup mailman.  Insert following lines in
$prefix/Mailman/mm_cfg.py:

    SLAPD_SHELL_SUFFIX = 'ou=Lists,o=My Organization,c=AQ'
    SLAPD_SHELL_OBJECTCLASSES = ['top',
'someStructuralObjectClass', ]


Note:

o SEARCH doesn't process search filter.  Either
'(objectClass=*)' or '(objectClass=gnummList)' will be
recognized.
o User of slapd (typically 'ldap') should be belonged
to Mailman group ('mailman').
