Hi Timo,

thanks for your answer. Can you explain how to enable SASL binds for
LDAP in beta1 and onwards? I looked through the source and found no
reference to SASL. In fact, I even created a patch which I've been using
since a while and seems to work quite nicely. It is attached to this email.

Regards,
Geert
