Yes,

In this case the users are valid via LDAP, however the upgrade was being
completed when the LDAP was unavailable. It was not the libvirt group,
but the "admin" group as you noted. Once complete I re-added the users
to the admin group and authentication and authorizations via LDAP was
fine post-upgrade.

Perhaps this implementation is flawed, but it is a packaged MDS
implementation on Debian in the backend, and works well for mixed
Windows/Debian/Ubuntu environments where users and groups transcend many
different servers but have common home directory and authentication.

If you can beat NFS+LDAP for common desktops across linux/unix domains,
I am interested to know. Maybe Karmic+Eucalyptus is the end game, but
we have this for now.

Thanks for the patch,
cheers,
IMac
