[K12OSN] ltsp ldap client setup

[Peter Hartmann]

Hey David, thank you and Matt for the script!

Yes.

No.

Hell yes.  Although I did run a couple of times with slightly
different settings.  I ended up nuking /var/lib/ldap and re-running
and I  *think* all the other settings went through.  Is there anything
in particular that might not have been updated with a re-run of the
script?  I did move the k12 users to the ldap server because I was
thinking of using the padl.com migrate_passwd.pl because I thought it
actually uses the current passwords (now I don't think it does).  But
I think this might be causing me some problems because
/etc/sysconfig/system-auth checks the login against /etc/passwd first.
 Right now my client setup definetely checks the local /etc/passwd
first.  If It doesn't find an entry and does find a ldap user I get
asked for Login, Password, Ldap Password but I still can't get in. Can
you shed any light on this?

Thanks again,
Peter
