That is my understanding.  Of course the OGo administrative account does
not need to be a full fledged "user account"  a simpleSecurityObject
with the appropriate uid and a password is sufficient.  You merely have
to provide some context to bind with.  If you are very clever with LDAP
you may be able to eliminate the duplicate account using aliases or
referrals.

Not to my knowledge.
