I am stuck on SPARC/Solaris hardware for anything unix-like.
Building is hard, but one we get it build I cannot complain. ;)

Thank, I will look into this. For now I used Alan's suggestion, which seemed to help.

Just thought I would mentioned it (also helpful for other people trying to compile on solaris in the future),
I myself have not the knowledge to write good patches, but I am perfectly happy using this workaround, or using gcc.

Thanks!

It seems with some effort, I managed to build 3.0.6 with rlm_ldap.
I do compile my own ldap libraries, I do not use the built-in solaris headers/libs.
I'll try to test if the rlm_ldap function actually works, but will have to familiarize myself with the v3 config files first.
If the rlm_ldap function actually works I will keep you up-to-date.

Thank you, Arran and Alan :)

Kind regards
