This is a good idea. I had another idea is to make
ldapsh a module and a script. The script just beeing
something like "use LDAPsh; shell;". Just like CPAN
does.

I applied 2 of them. The "diff1" patch should be updated
to allow users to choose the encryption SSL or TLS. In
fact, my ADS and OpenLDAP car do SSL, but are not setup
to do TLS... I'm probably not the only one...

I already saw something similar with some terminals.
I think it's closely related to ReadLine::GNU and I
didn't go more in-depth to see where does the problem
comes from.

The only reason is: ignorance ;-)
I didn't though on that issue. I don't understand very well
sourceforge architecture so I just followed the
recommendations I found on one of the docs.
What do you expect exactly? Do you want me to create a
ldapsh directory under /cvsroot/ldapsh? So you can do:
cvs -d:pserver:ano...@cv...:/cvsroot/ldapsh co ldapsh ?
Because I tried your setting:
"cvs -d:pserver:anonymous@...sf.net:/cvsroot/ co "
but I don't understand how can it works since /cvsroot is
not owned by me...

I'm not familiar with sourceforge environment, but if you point
me to a doc which explains how to do so, I'd be happy ;-)))
Thanks a lot
