Well, the following is effectively equivalent:

            while 1:
                try:
                    primary_auth.connect()
                    break
                except Exception, errmsg:
                    log.error(_("Could not connect to LDAP, is it running?"))
                    time.sleep(5)

The else clause is pretty narrow in terms of benefits, really.
