13 LDAP is a special type of database that is like a tree, full of nodes, branchs and properties with
14 values. it USUALLY used to store user account information to be shared among different servers, or
15 to store email account definitions.
16
17 if you are NOT using openldap, then it's probably safe to put -ldap in your global USE flag in
18 /etc/make.conf

20 But I don't know your system, so.... analyze it. check out www.openldap.org and read about it.
