ldap backend issues

hi 

i'm playing with debian lenny* and the new kerberos ldap backend. i've 
stumbled upon a few issues.

first, the online documentation**, says to create new ACL's ending with 
"by * none". this disabled the access for all except the two kerberos 
users. after reading man slapd.access it may be better read "by * break" 
to let slapd evaluate the next access statements?

second, i've configured the openldap like the sample krb5.conf file in 
chapter 3.3.11. altough i've written the kdc and adm dn the kdc-server 
and admin-server don't start without supplying "-x host=ldapi://<path> -x 
binddn=cn=kdc-service,dc=test". is /etc/krb5.conf the right place? don't 
i have to write some ldap config to /etc/krb5kdc/kdc.conf? "man kdc.conf" 
doesn't reveal anything about "ldap". 

third, is there some way to export the encrypted passwords from a non-
ldap-backend and import them into the ldap-backend?

Thanks for any hints.
