Python and Active Directory

[John Nielsen]

Using the constant 1 seemed to work (throwing in erroneous constants
does make errors), but I didn't sniff packets to make sure.

Btw, the pythonldap module (works fine w/exchange), looks to support
kerberos(I haven't tested it), which may be useful for those playing
with win2000.

It is nicer than ADSI in some ways since it leverages python
dictionaries. And, of course, pythonldap allows a unix box to talk to an
MS box.
