Thanks for the pointers, Craig.  I'm finding that web documentation
for LDAP authentication on CentOS is extremely sparse and/or
inaccurate.  Here's what I've been able to do so far:

*  Get slapd up and running
*  Import my /etc/passwd, /etc/shadow, /etc/group using the migration scripts
*  Run commands like "ldapsearch -x -D "cn=Admin,dc=example,dc=com"
-W, which successfully connects and gets info from slapd

I would like to use Webmin to manage this, but unfortunately Webmin
doesn't seem to find any ldap users or groups.  Anyone else have
experience getting this to work?
