LDAP from scratch.

I'm about to set up an LDAP install, I believe from scratch, for a
friend's company.  I've done it before, and am familiar enough with LDAP
from a systems standpoint that I don't think I'll need help there.  The
part of LDAP that continues to flummox, me, however, is its nomenclature;
for example, in the previous install I did from scratch, I assigned some
of the values to the wrong DNs because I couldn't find any that seemed to
fit.

Is there, somewhere, a list of what things like (say) inetOrgPerson
actually *are*?  And, perhaps, a good subset of appropriate DNs for an
install that's going to replace NIS?

Thanks...

P.S.  Yes, I've RTFM'd, but not recently.  If there's an on-line resource
that's been updated, please point it out to me.  While I certainly don't
fear manuals, I fear re-reading them "just 'cause."
