I'm not sure this should be put into the LDAP, but I may be wrong. The
data model is likely to change often enough (even if not a lot) and
queries are likely to be frequent enought, to justify a separate,
simple db/app for that. But here again, I may not have all the infos.

That's the group thing, yes (be it explicit or implicit).
