         | LUCAS - LDAP Utilizing Central Administration System |
         --------------------------------------------------------
	  
LUCAS provides means for configuring network servers and/or services 
centrally via one LDAP database.

The traditonal way to manage UN*X boxes is doing configuring work on a per 
host basis. While this works quite well on single host setups, it quickly
becomes a nightmare when it comes to clustered systems, load balancing systems
or server farms, where configurations have to be shared/spread/replicated 
between several more or less independant machines.

The LUCAS project aims at creating a framework, where configuration data may
be conviniently kept in an central LDAP database and is automatically
send to the desired destination from there.
