Unfortunately I have no time this week. I will be able to look at it and 
send you a quick howto for openldap/cyrus/heimdal on Saturday. If 
somebody else is able to do it sooner, it would be great. Please, 
install it on i386 image, since amd64 didn't seem to have any problems 
on my installation (at least on February).

Thank you for your time and effort.
