The Driver/ldap.php in Turba does not currently. But the scope is a
standard functionality of LDAP. however PHP's ldap API is awkward in
implementing it as it splits it to several functions.

ldap_search => scope "sub"
this will search the current base dn in the search and ALL children.

ldap_list => scope "one"
this will search just the direct descendants of the the base DB in the
search. (which is what Craig is wanting

ldap_read => scope "base"
this will just return back the basedn's entry (not really a search, but a
FAST get for one entry)
