Whoa.  That's the sort of thing that shouldn't be dealt with at pkg
install time (except for user accounts created at image install time).

If you're installing an LDAP server, or whatever, where a password will
be required in order to run the service, then install the pkg's services
disabled by default and tell the user what configuration program to run
in order to enable them.

(Does this mean I'm coming around to Shawn's/Bart's views?  Maybe.  I'm
hoping that the things that will need to run things post-pkg install
will be few enough and far between that the point will be moot.)
