get_ldap_pwnam is not used. I started to code it and done other things.

yep. I wrote 3 connect (bind) functions.

The idea is when you define strict access lists in the slapd server,
even the user can't see his own password, but he can bind to the server
using his password, and can change it afterward.

So I wrote ldap_connect_system which bypass all security priviledge 'cause
it use the rootdn and the rootpwd. We won't use it too much in the future.

ldap_connect_anonymous will be use typically to enumerate users and
machines.

ldap_connect_user will be used to authenticate the user
