I guess I'm a little idealistic - I'd love to see LDAP more mainstream because 
it really does a lot of things really well, if not for lack of support in 
some ways.  That said, it's not much different than BDB if you're using a BDB 
backend I suppose.

For this purpose though, it sounds like the request is for a 
network-accessible BDB database.  OpenLDAP can be that, with full access 
control abilities already integrated, fun admin tools like phpLDAPAdmin, etc.  
No need to reinvent the wheel I was thinking...
