Generating Nagios LDAP Schema

[lilesb at ijet.com]

This schema doesn't quite work in 2.1.  (you most likely will have to change
the "_" to "-")

I don't think the schema will have to change for major Nagios versions.  It
might have to change in 2, but some sort of upgrade path could be created.
I plan on just having the configurations in LDAP and having them generated
to text files when Nagios is started or restarted.  I think this will make
for a much simpler start.  Later, maybe I'll investigate hacking an LDAP
backend into Nagios.

Well, this schema is for openldap.

It's not that it's that difficult to store the data; I just wanted to have
the storage schema be definitively based on the Nagios code.

What is xdata?  I know that's the directory in nagios's source that
contains all the configuration options, but does it expose interfaces or
something?  Searching for it on google has yielded me nothing else.

Will I be able to use it with nagios to get data directly from LDAP
somehow?  If so, then yeah, I'll skip the whole schema generation thing,
once I've got a good one in place.

I just don't want to find myself having to modify the ldap schema all the
time, so if I were generating it from the code, I know it would always be
right.

As to getting the data out, that's basically already done.  I've actually
almost got it going both directions:  I've written a parser for the Nagios
configs, so that if someone wanted to they could parse their existing,
manual configs and then write them to ldap (or SQL, but I don't have that
written).
