This is a really good book. Arek did a great job while writing this book, and I would highly recommend it for anyone who is looking to integrate Mac OS X Server into their existing Directory configuration, or if you are looking for a way to manage your Mac OS X Open Directory through the command line.
Note: I know the author, and find him a great guy personally. I've been to several T3's with him, and as such I felt I should declare that association.
