I think "merge" was not the right thing to say.  We migrated the old
database to the new database using the instructions in the README.  We
threw away our 4.0 test database.

I think the problem is that we had user XXX in the 3.8 database as a local
user and in the 4.0 database user XXX was LDAP external auth.  Everything
else works fine; just my local mysql users cannot log in and I can create
them but not give them passwords.
