Is there no other way to have the same result with less effort that
you can think of? Because that would be my preferred solution (cn=sn).

Well something like "missing Pear Module Net_LDAP" would be clearer
but yet I agree that I could have eventually figured it out.

> pear install Net_LDAP

Okay I did that (although that module is not stable, it installed okay
from the tgz). And as a result it worked with a whitespace for
checkrequired_string being added automatically for sn. Great!

So my suggestion is to modify the sources.php.dist to have:

// necessary to bypass the need to generate a valid sn for the person
objectClass
        'checkrequired' => true, instead of false in the localldap 
example (I haven't tried the other
ldap example).

And may be instruct that Net_LDAP is a prerequisite for getting turba
to work with LDAP. That seems much better than tweaking core.schema to
me. What do you think?

Guillaume
