Hi,

Please review my patch which implement two new ldap.conf options: TIMEOUT and NETWORK_TIMEOUT. These options are very useful to the wide list of applications, which do not operate these parameters directly: samba, isc dhcp/bind, sendmail and many other things.

I offer two variants: with use ldap_set_option:

ftp://ftp.openldap.org/incoming/alex-deiter-061112.patch

and without it:

ftp://ftp.openldap.org/incoming/alex-deiter-061113.patch

Usually, only patches for HEAD code are considered, unless they are specifically intended to fix bugs in release code.

TIMEOUT is right now unused in the code; have no idea what it was originally intended for. Support for NETWORK_TIMEOUT in ldap.conf is already implemented in HEAD; OpenLDAP 2.3 is feature frozen, so it's unlikely that it will be backported, as it's not a major bug but rather a missing feature.

p.
