Good idea, thanks.

Well, that would be doable for /etc/ldap/ldap.conf (which is the file
ldap.conf describes), however there is another file supposed to be
parsed by the lense, /etc/ldap.conf [0], which has the same syntax (spaced
key/value entries), but a far larger set of keywords (below you find the
/etc/ldap.conf installed on my system).

Ciao,
