# ABOUT THIS PROGRAM
#
# NAME
#	changeLDAPConnectionTimeout.sh -- Change the connection timeout to get to a Directory Server.
#
# SYNOPSIS
#	sudo changeLDAPConnectionTimeout.sh
#	sudo changeLDAPConnectionTimeout.sh <mountPoint> <computerName> <currentUsername> <timeout>
#
# 	If the $timeout parameter is specified (parameter 4), this is the timeout value that will be
#	set.  The timeout value should be specified as an integer in seconds.
#
# 	If no parameter is specified for parameter 4, the hardcoded value in the script will be used.
#
# DESCRIPTION
#	This script will modify the length of time that Directory Services will wait before an attempted
#	connection times out.  Modifying this value can be particularly useful in an environment with
#	mobile users that are bound to an LDAP server that is not accessible from the outside world.
#	The <timeout> value can be used with a hardcoded value in the script, or read in as a parameter.
#	Since the Casper Suite defines the first three parameters as (1) Mount Point, (2) Computer
#	Name and (3) username, we are using the fourth parameter ($4) as the passable parameter.
