 A good chunk of the accounts already existing - e.g. my favorite folks
   strk, pramsey, evenr were already set up in system as local accounts.

 So if you tried logging in before with your ldap, it wouldn't let you and
 wouldn't be able to create a new one.  To avoid destroying data, you know
 your cute picture and stuff, I have add an entery to the wordpress
 usermeta to flag these local accounts to go via ldap authentication.

 I documented the process I did for adhoc here -

 I'm going to generate a script to do it for the remainder that match and
 then close this ticket out when I am done.
