This appears to be the same as the "referrals" option in pam_ldap
(http://linux.die.net/man/5/pam_ldap). So it seems legitimate.
For consistency, I would name the option ldapreferrals={0|1}. I prefer
avoiding double negatives.
Do you know of a standard way to represent this option in an LDAP URL,
perhaps as an extension?
