passwd ldap feature, searching for userdn not required on some installs..

Howdy,

All.  This password / sork thing is an excellent module.  I would 
suggest the following patch as an option for configuration of userdn.  
So that passwd does not have to bind at all to search for the user.  
And can just bind as the user to change their own password.

Thoughts and rejection are welcome and expected as always. :)

Something else I was thinking about was some way to have multiple 
backends update with a single update somehow?  yes of course you get 
into issues with rolling back if one fails, but it would be handy from 
the user's perspective if the password policies matched and every 
service was up.  The practical case is my OS password (via poppassd) 
and LDAP (addressbook).  Any desire for such a patch?

Thanks much for your time,

Geff

config param:

        'userdn' => 'cn=' . Auth::getBareAuth() . ',ou=people,o=boing',

"ou=people,o=boing" is my container for my user objects.  I guess this 
could have been:

'userdn => 'cn=' . Auth::getBareAuth() . $params['basedn'];

or something as such.
