Hmm, thats what I implemented OPT_NETWORK_TIMEOUT for. If you use
ldap_init(), the actual TCP connect() will be delayd until the first ldap
operation, ie ldap_bind(). Connect _schould_ return after the timeout you
specified with ldap_set_option. You may send a truss output?

It schould work like this:

LDAP_OPT_NETWORK_TIMEOUT implements a non-blocking connect.
The timeout you pass to ldap_result is the maximum amount of time to
wait for the next ldap response, if the session is allready established.
