Person allows password, so does simpleSecurityObject, so you don't need
both.

But for a user to be able to login, they will need all the UN*X 
attributes
as well. Such as uidNumber, gidNumber, homeDirectory etc, etc. So 
instead,
use 'posixAccount'.


But this is beyound the scope of this list. Please see howtos etc on 
the
'Net to have UN*X users authenticate againt LDAP.
