*What is happening?*
Starting at 6AM Sunday morning rebooting the LDAP servers to put security
updates in place.  We will do these one at a time so no more than one is
down at any time.

Most services should be unaffected since we have redundant LDAP servers,
however There may be brief interruptions in the ability to log in to some
services.   There may be a delay in password changes being made effective.

*How long will it take?*
We expect this work to take about 10  to 15 minutes per LDAP server (we
have 4).  We are reserving additional time in case problems arise.

*Why is this work necessary?*
For security and support reasons we need to keep our systems running on
recent well supported operating systems and standards.

What happens if the work is not successful?

We will back out to snapshots of these machines taken prior to application
of the changes.
