Sam,
thanks for your message.
Certainly, I will try to implement it as you advice me to.
On some occasions, though, it's not always possible to do everything
in the right way and as long as it works and is flexible enough to
work with it's ok.
On the top of you head, do you think of any other issues that I may
have when I change authldaplib.c applying my small "patch"?
I did tested today on few user accounts and it seams to do the job
what I wanted.
