I wasn't able to test your changes but I hope I'll have time to play
around a bit with LdapAuthentication next week. Anyway, I just had a
look at the new README- I've attached a version I like better. The point
is: Some people still work on servers without a GUI and your README is
hard to read on an 80 column terminal. I didn't change the content, just
the "layout".
You usually log in to your server using a GUI (PuTTY from Windows or
something) and are therefore able to enlarge you terminal window, but I
just consider a 80 column layout to be Good Style(tm).
