Unfortunately, there's not a lot of info on LDAP period, but this list has
been helpful, I've found.

I think I can make Radiator do it (as I do have the source) and it does
have a get encrypted password function...my problem is the most basic
step:  How do I set up LDAP with encrypted passwords?  Is it just a field
like any other or what?  If someone can get me that far, I think I can go
from there...
