[hobbit] Hobbit Authentication with LDAP or NIS

[Stewart L]

I've actually got our Hobbit authing against AD by using LDAP.  Works very
well.

mod_authnz_ldap is the way to go. I can send you a sanitized hobbit.conf if
you like to show how we did it...

I've done it on RHEL3 using Apache::AuthNetLDAP and RHEL5 using
mod_authz_ldap
