Thanks, that is the information that I was looking for. I just wanted to raise the issue because I wasn't sure if there were any other uses for mod_ldap besides auth_ldap. It appears that there is and that is reason enough to leave it as is. Although I do agree that mod_ldap should be renamed to libldap to reflect what it truely is.

So please keep it neutral. Dw
