Hi Andreas;
I've updated the patch, and would really appreciate your help.  Can you see
it in the comment on the original wiki permalink:

http://tech.b.chickenandporn.com/2008/04/13/use-ldap-to-configure-nagios/#comment-110
( replaced http://www.chickenandporn.com/r/nagios-3.0.1-ldap.patch )

I'm build-testing it on a few architectures to confirm a clean-build
with/without "--enable-ldap"

If you can grab this and take a look at some of the things I had to do in
the base/config.c to pick up the main config variables, I'm looking for some
insight to converting this to a NEB.  I get the impression that a NEB would
get better acceptance hence wider re-use, so your feedback and insight would
help me in my goal

If something I did looks too strange, feel free to grab me online, my MSN
and Jabber are my email address above and below.

Allan
