It's been my experience with linux distros that openldap quickly falls
behind in versions, security fixes, etc, and asking for help from the
openldap lists (which I was very active on for a few years as an ldap
admin) will not get you much more than "please upgrade to x.y.z" and
some notes about being a better sysadmin.  :)
