Probable bug in use of strcasecmp in servers/slapd/acl.c (ITS#1516)
Full_Name: Mark Blackman
Version: 2.0.19
OS: FreeBSD 4.4

Submission from: (NULL) (195.157.3.43)
I believe that 4 uses of strcasecmp in servers/slapd/acl.c are in
error and use the reverse logic to that intended.
Namely, strcasecmp returns a 0 on a string match (case insensitive)
but the logic in parts of acl.c suggest that the original author
assumed a return value of 1 on string match. This is during
the acl <who> clause evaluation.
I've included a patch that reverses this logic to that
probably intended. I posted to openldap-devel to confirm
that it was a bug.
