Excellent explanation -

just for S & G's

I changed the 1 instance of ldap_search to ldap_list in
horde/turba/lib/Driver/ldap.php

and removed my 'filter' in horde/turba/config/sources.php that screened
out the user address book entries and it surely worked...except for one
thing...

when I did a 'search' from that same Address Book, it returned entries
from user address books so that 'sub' scope returned once again, though
I had removed it per above. Hmmm... 

Have to keep playing with this

Thanks Ed
