Jeff,

The only thing that changed, is that there is no longer a local user
called mapserver. We've moved to only using users that are in LDAP so
that they can exist on multiple machines if needed.

So Martin is working to resolve the ownernship of the LDAP account that
would match the old local username. Once you have control of that the
old keys should work again.
