$ldap_passwd

Specifies the LDAP Master Password.

When combined with other LDAP settings (notably, $ldap_user), the LDAP Master Password ($ldap_passwd) should permit administrative access to your LDAP server, allowing the MCSH scripts to access it fully. Because this password allows complete access, this file should be treated with due diligence. It should be owned by the root user (and group), and its permissions should be read-only for only the user (mode 0600).
