Oh No! I just downloaded the latest snapshot for RH 7.1 cvs
2001.09.17.07.08 and see that some changes have been made to the LDAP
code as I am not able to add contact to my LDAP database.
Now all fields in the contact are disabled. Double-clicking on an empty
cell of the contact list brings the new contact dialog box, but I
cannot enter any info. I am stuck with an read-only database. Not very
useful. Note that I can ldapadd from the shell.
Please turn back support for read-write or explain me what to change on
my server to be able to write to my database.
Thanks
Pascal
