Re: openldap and redhat 7.1

Glen,

I think stripping spurious spaces would be a good idea.  If not, the error
messages could be a little more informative - my C compiler doesn't go and
add ';' on the end of lines but it tells me it was expecting one.

On both occasions I have downloaded openldap and got it  up and running on
Linux (just now and back whenever RH 6.1 came out) I have beaten my head
against niggling little problems like the line endings.  If people think "I
should have known better" I agree but the fact is, the less friction
involved in getting it up and running, the more widely accepted it will
become.

Cheers
