I have a bunch of files that were deployed via kickstart and manual

My condolences.

This one file, /etc/ldap.conf, is deployed from kickstart, but then
later, a manual run of a script by an admin, as part of later
provisioning step, updates ldap.conf with bind password... I need
/etc/ldap.conf deployed right after initial install, and maintained...
but don't want the bindpassword overwritten once it has been updated,
the password is unique to each host.... What would be the right way to
maintain such a file?

Maintain the lists of passwords on the master and provision them using extlookup and a template. You can still provision a basic ldap.conf on kickstart, but as soon as puppet kicks in, you'll be in total and perpetual control of the file.
