[imp] ldap

[Rick Romero]

I think it depends on what LDAP service you are using.  If you are 
using OpenLDAP, or Netscape or something of that sort, it's 
probably made to be read only. 

If you look at Novell NDS, you'll see things changing constantly.  
It's NOT designed as an LDAP database, but Novell has created an 
LDAP interface.  I would consider using Novell's NDS for session 
management, but I'd shy away from any others, specifically 
because Novell's NDS is made for, and is used, in that fasion.

Maybe I'm going out on a limb here, but I'd probably guess that due 
to the fact the majority of IMP's users aren't running NDS (IMHO, 
the most flexible/powerful LDAP db), and the extra hassle of  
adding LDAP session management, and having to have some 
supporting knowledge of yet another product, would keep LDAP 
session management from being an option.

But that's just my opinion.

Okay. Have you looked at the html source to see where and what this 
unterminated string is?
