what's wrong with logging as any unprivileged user, to open a xterm,
to run "su -" and then system-config-authentification ?
With LDAP down, unpriviledged users couldn't authenticate.
Always is a good idea to have a second user(unpriviledged) in local
for maintenance, operator or something like this.
