Hi Colin.
We meet again in another round of the LDAP conversation! 8^)

I feel I should mention that my own broken record ("Yep. Broken.
Volunteers?") is not intended to lay a guilt trip on you specifically.
I know how the pressure at work never really eases off. Each time I
call for LDAP volunteers I'm hoping that the latest interested party
will have pressure from work that compels them to make LDAP work.
Someday I may get to it myself, but only if we find a customer for whom
LDAP is a show-stopper requirement. Until then, I'll just keep calling
for volunteers.

That would be such a great place to start. Please send in the fixes!

I agree that these items need discussing, but sometimes its easier to
see what needs to be fixed once there is something in place that works
to some degree. And it might be easier to get volunteers to add a
little more to something that works. But right now the LDAP stuff is
just broken. Please send in your fixes before you take your holiday, if
you can find the time.
If you'll contribute your fixes I'll see how it works here and add
documentation. Then we can take up the rest of the conversation when
you return.
