Followup guestion.  Since the userPassword field is obviously bogus
(unused) since we don't do a simple bind, how do I configure OpenLDAP to
only allow certain principals to bind as an arbitrary user?  I read
something a while back about an attribute that could specify multipal
principals, but it used a now depricated ObjectClass.  Basically can I
do something that's the same effect as .k5login on binding to ldap?  Do
I need to do special things in my LDAP acls?  (I imagine so.)

Thaks so much. Appreciate your patience!
