No problem, I understand.

I think "common name" (cn) should mean "first name" not "full name".   
In some of the apps that are calling from LDAP we get stuck in a  
pickle because we actually have no first name attribute to populate  
user profiles with.  I don't see any reason to have a full name  
attribute - does anyone else?
