LDAP poll

[Jon Parise]

I'd be grateful if any of you on this list who administrate LDAP
installations could answer a quick question for me.

Is it same to assume this will return a DN for a user on your system?

    "$uid=$username,$rootdn"

... where $uid and $rootdn are configurable, and $username is the
username with which the user logs into IMP. 

I'd like to eliminate a lot of code in the head tree's ldap
preferences driver that performs an initial search to determine the
value of $username (which is always the same as the username that user
used to log in around here, anyway).
