True. A set keys operation, though, would at least abstract the client
from caring about how the keys are represented in the directory, and
allow the server to enforce constraints that may not be appropriate in
the case of a normal directory update.

draft-ietf-krb-wg-kerberos-set-passwd-01.txt might be a good place to
start -- there was some talk at the Vienna IETF about extending this
to LDAP.
