I knew this would happen as soon as I sent my previous mail :-)
The Authen::SASL::GSSAPI module works fine if you are using the
older Authen::SASL code included with perl-ldap-0.25 (which
is the same as 0.23).

Searching Win2k Active Directory works fine.  

I'm assuming that the SASL code in perl-ldap
will go away eventually and Authen-SASL-X.XX
will be the defacto standard for LDAP SASL support.
Can anyone wager a guess when this might happen?

Other than just using older code, if all I need is the
GSSAPI stuff, are there any pitfalls of using Authen::SASL
from perl-ldap-0.25?


Thanks again.
