oops, you're right, I didn't think that through.  Of course.

it just seems that managing CA certs on the clients would be a real pain.

Besides, is there any way within this whole FDS framework to revoke Certs?  If the ldap server is
compromised, how do I tell the clients not to trust it (or the CA or both) anymore???
