It's not a setting in IMP. (I don't use the LDAP part at all. I was
surprised too. :-)

You can fix it with this patch:

------8<------ CUT HERE ------8<------
--- ldap.search.php3.NOPORTNUM  Sun Oct 29 23:22:37 2000
+++ ldap.search.php3    Sun Oct 29 23:22:59 2000

 $str_sn   = $lserver->sn;
 $str_emailattr = $lserver->emailattr;
 
-$ds = ldap_connect($str_serv);
+$ds = ldap_connect($str_serv, 1389);
 
 if ($ds) $r = ldap_bind($ds);
 else {
------8<------ CUT HERE ------8<------

which will take care of things for you. (As you can see, it was
hard-coded to use the default port number.)

This should probably be fixed, now that I think about it. :-) Chuck et
al, is this a fix-in-2.3 thing, or has it just not come up before?
