Not necessarily.  You can probably do most of it with the Cyrus pts ldap
module.  Unfortunately that's currently a very prickly beast to
configure.  I had to read the source code more than once to understand
how to make it respect "group:foo" ACLs in the context of what I
consider a "normal" LDAP tree.

When I get my head out of my current project, I'd like to start a
discussion with interested parties (Wes?) wrt how pts ldap _ought_ to
work...

Our intention is to tweak GOsa http://www.gosa-project.org/ which solves
most of the problem already.
