[rt-users] Problems with new users

[Scott Pestana]

Thomas,
     I didn't know it existed.  I can't find rtldapimport anywhere on 
the CPAN page, and a google search for "rtldapimport 
site:bestpractical.com" only finds hits in version control.

     It looks as though the README (as hosted on metacpan) talks about 
it.  I can't install RT::Extension::LDAPImport yet because I've not yet 
set up RT's DB.  I want to wait for thoughts on my RT_Siteconfig.pm 
before I follow through with the make initialize-database.  I'll take a 
look at the script then.
