Thanks for the reminder. I did see these a while ago - I've seen so much 
in so many places and became rapidly confused, because I don't have much 
ldap or ipa experience.

I'll review your instructions and see how they fit with the Solaris 11 
instructions from the mailing list that I found and try to distil a page 
with appropriate attributions when I've implemented something that works.
