Problem is, no one knows why that recommendation was made. Following
up on dj's search for firefox libraries that link to libmozldap, I did
the same thing in Thunderbird's lib directory:
for file in $( find . -type f ); do
> ldd $file | grep "ldap" && echo $file
> done 2>/dev/null
libldap50.so => not found
libprldap50.so => not found
./components/libmozldap.so
Same thing as he saw with --enable-ldap for firefox. I'm gonna try to
search through the mozilla site and see why --disable-ldap is included
for firefox. Since in either case, just this component links to the
libraries, I think it's only included as a time saver since a
standalone web browser has no use for LDAP. Just speculation right
now.
