restrict everything *except* read methods:
><LimitExcept GET PROPFIND OPTIONS REPORT>

>Development,OU=U.S.,OU=Groups,DC=fcg,DC=com
></LimitExcept>

My desire is to have only the LS Product Development group have only
Read-Only access to the repository. Which, if I understand how you
explained it, makes sense. This is so confusing to me.
Perhaps it would be easier if I could just make the repository Read-Only
to everyone. However, I am not sure of the correct way to do this either

My repositories are already functioning. That is how I know that the LDAP
portion works. I am about to begin to move the repositories from one
server to another. Before I begin a dump I want to make the repository
Read-Only so that no one, who currently has access, can make any changes
while I dump and move.
