The function ldap_set_option seems to be present in the library but is not documented anywhere and the man page for ldap_open recommends to set the options directly in the LDAP structure (Raymond could you confirm this ?) The function ldap_set_option is autodetected by our configure script and used if present. My feeling is that in Solaris 2.7 (at least in its current state) it shouldn't. So what do we do now ? Should I introduce that special case in the configure script ? Oscar
