[Casper] Configure LDAP via DHCP

[Clinton Blackmore]

What is the full path and file name of the plist?  Also, do you have  
any idea how the key value is generated -- it doesn't look like a MAC  
address or GUID.  (It may be worthwhile to check if a machine given a  
plist that does not include the key will notice that and generate it  
itself.)
