OpenLDAP authentication

[Todd O'Bryan]

I looked through this, but it had some problems:

1. It doesn't use the cn=config style configuration within the LDAP
database itself that they're pushing with OpenLDAP 2.4.

2. It says to use openssl to create the certificates, which I have
been unable to get working with the latest version of openldap. I had
to use GnuTLS's certtool instead.

3. It depends on webmin, which I'd prefer to avoid, if I can.

I will happily write all this up when I get it working and can
replicate it. (I need to use it on three servers, so I'll have to have
instructions that work.)
