summary Re: SIA LDAP with OpenLDAP server

I do have the SIA LDAP module basically working now, despite the
complaints about userPassword from the standalone tools.

The OpenLDAP server database was initially set up using the canonical
PADL migration tools <URL:http://www.padl.com/OSS/MigrationTools.html>
on the non-Tru64 LDAP server.

Because I have shadow local passwords, I edited in `u_lock@' to the
default auth entry (`edauth -s -d d'). The advice in the doc -- which
I missed initially -- about editing auth entries for individual users
rather defeats the point.

(I'm using Kerberos rather than passwords from LDAP, so the shadowing
is basically to protect root's local password. I haven't tried
passwords from LDAP.)
