I am just learning about LDAP. I read about warnings not to create fictitious OIDs and not to modify default schema files. Why are OIDs globalized? Who cares what anyone else uses for OIDs in their databases? I have no care if FreeBSD uses a certain OID for an attribute. I have no care if FreeBSD uses the same OID as I do for an attribute. Just like I don't care if jcwells1@freebsd.org also exists. In fact, I think I might prefer to not use schema that are given by default. (names like "o" are just stupid, i don't want to save a byte, i want to be able to read the data) I would prefer to not have to contact IANA to give me a number. These things are probably this way for a reason. What is the reason? Thanks, Jason C.
