IMHO, the comments in /etc/ldap.conf could be a bit more explicit on the 'on' value:
IMNSHO most docmentation on LDAP is laughable, and perhaps one of the main reasons Active Directory has become so much more popular. Say what you want about MS, but it does seem to me, that at least on the syadmin and user side that their documentation is usually quite good, at least since Windows 2000.
RH in particular has some really poor docs--as mentioned earlier, they didn't feel it necessary to mention that they'd broken SSL and TLS.
As the authors of the excellent ldap for rocket scientists page say.
"The bad news is that IOHO never has so much been written so incomprehensibly about a single topic with the possible exceptions of BIND."

Might as well spam my own page while at it. :)

Grouchily yours (and REALLY sick of the low quality of so much Linux documentation)
