I did send this the other day to the list but that message was probably too big to get through without been moderated. anyway a patch to add a mysql auxprop and ldap auxprop plugins is availble from : http://www.surf.org.uk/downloads/ YOu will probably need to run automake -i autoconf before configure will recognise --with-ldapauxprop --with-mysqlauxprop. The ldap version is not compatiable with openldap compiled with saslv1 support (clashes in namespace). read doc/sysadmin.html on how to configure. It could do with a bit of testing. -- Simon Loader (unemployed)
