I've tried various incantations to configure but the build just ignores the servers/ldapd directory. To date I've had some limited success with a pre autoconfig openldap . It detects pepsy, finds -lisode etc Thanks p.s. anyone played with edb2ldif without it core dumping? -- Alan Thew alan.thew@liverpool.ac.uk Computing Services,University of Liverpool Fax: +44 151 794-4442
