I just need something trivial...a single OU for contacts.  My plan
is to use the el6 binaries just so I can learn first hand how to set
it up and make it work.

In the future I may start authenticating off it, and at that point
I'll consider replacing it with a better version.  One of the guys
at work is annoyed that openldap won't let a group be a member
of a group.  For me that's good enough reason to find something
better.
