I am not an LDAP user, and I confess that I have never really understood
all the quoting complicationa - at least, I think I understand them from
time to time, and then I instantly forget all the complicated details
afterwards.

I haven't followed this thread either. Please remind me (on or off list)
exactly what the problem is. I assume it's to do with quoting
passwords/uids... Which example are you referring to? Thanks.
