Problem with LDAP authenticated users.

Very interresting.  I have been using kerberos authentication
(mod_auth_kerb) for the cgi frontend, and was getting the same errors for
some of my users.  It seems to have solved the problem by changing the
contact name to the username (rather than a nickname), like you suggested.

Thanks,
Nate
