Here are some interesting story links to stuff I've been reading and many
apply to some recent questions around here.

***Building an Address Book with OpenLDAP
LDAP's most sensible example is, perhaps, managing contacts throughout
a company. There aren't many good examples of this, however. Dustin
Puryear (coordinator for the Baton Rouge Linux User Group) wants to
change that. In this article, he demonstrates how to build and populate
a company-wide LDAP address book.

***Ten Security Checks for PHP, Part 1
The same global access that makes web apps useful means that you have
to keep on top of security. Though it's easy to create sites in PHP,
it's not immune to sloppy coding. Clancy Malcolm explains how to
recognize and fix five potential security holes with PHP in the first
of two articles.
