Yes, we had to sort out some ACL issues late, noticed after we started
enforcing ACLs for read operations on the LDAP directory.  We have tools
that were developed for the purpose of fixing exactly this kind of
issue, and a bug has been raised to remind us that we need to add this
fix and provide instructions for our users.

When that is done, we will mention it on the lists, and then include it
in a future release.
