I believe we have 3 LDAP backend servers in very different locations so
there isn't a single point of LDAP failure, for sure. Done properly,
there is no problem with a central login system.  I don't think it would
*bother* people to register more than once, but why should they? If we
seem more cohesive and unified we appear more professional.
