Exactly so - I wanted people to be able to see how it worked without

The LDAP passwords won't be held on OpenSolaris.org at all.  The process 
is the same one that is currently used when you log in to sun.com with 
your Sun username and password.  This will *not* require that we keep 
copies of the LDAP passwords on opensolaris.org, the only thing that 
will be held is the SunID once it is confirmed, and that won't be made 
public.
