Re: ldap_init and ldap_open.

[kunkee@neosoft.com (Randy Kunkee)]

As I understand it, you can't simply do an ldap_init, you must either 
do an ldap_init()-ldap_bind() or ldap_open() before performing other
operations.  If you use ldap_open, then you open an anonymous connection
to the ldap server.

Use ldap_init if you are going to use ldap_bind to authenticate right
afterwards -- it a little more efficient in that case.
