Re: why didn't it work?

Michael,

Your links point to mailing archives of around Dec 21, 2001. But, I checked
out the LDAP module somewhere around Jan 3rd, 2002 and that's the code they
contained. But, possibly I might have used the wrong command while checking
out the module. I'll try it again. Thanks for the info.

~Peeyush.
