Ok, I suppose that I'm missing something. :)

I need anonymous auth to allow directory browsing, but then I also
need that if a user bind with a defined username, it can not do an
anonymous bind leaving a blank password.

Now, I understand that this is not possbile, so I can:

	- disabling at all anonymous bind, requiring authentication
	  even for a directory browse;

	  OR

	- enable anonymous binding at least on the local net and know
	  that blank password are accepted;

	  OR
	
	- install the patches that will allow me to solve the "blank
	  password" problem;

Am I right?

	learningly,
	   Cthulhu
