I would like to thank brother t0mas, and everyone who responded to my question. I looked into the Plug-in idea and I think this will work very well. I plan to implement a veriant of the suggested solution, I will have the plug-in write the info to a socket and setup a perl daemon to watch a specific port and trigger the event. This will allow it to field events from multiple LDAP instances. I will let you know how it turns out. -mlm
