Thank you!

I've installed openldap, and I'm reading the instructions from RH. It 
says I have to edit /etc/openldap/slapd.conf:

suffix     "dc=your-domain,dc=com"

Now I want this for my lan only. I don't have a fully qualified domain 
name. What do I use? Can I use localhost localdomain? I don't suppose I 
can use verizon.net, can I?

Thanks!
