one of the basis of this setup was that openldap (and thus ldap
user/group) already existed on RHEL 3
# rpm -qa|grep openldap
openldap-devel-2.0.27-17
openldap-servers-2.0.27-17
openldap-clients-2.0.27-17
openldap-2.0.27-17
the second premise - fraught with dangers as Tonye has pointed out that
I'm not removing any of it.

kind of necessary after first slapadd - I knew that but it should be
part of any write up I suppose.
