The construction above is working well, indeed. The problem is, that you call get_dc_list() directly in the while loop in function find_server() where its output is not parsed (normally the LDAP_URI config parameter is parsed fine). I think that to fix it we would need to: 1. call the get_dc_list() before the main "while" loop 2. fix get_dc_list() so it rather than strcatting ldap uris into a single string returns the pure list so that we do not have to parse it again. This way it can be directly processed in the main while loop. But I do not know how would it behave if we had something like this: LDAP_URI="ldap:///something ldap:///something_else". Maybe two nested loops would be better - anyway I am sure you know where I am pointing now :-) Ondrej The information contained in this e-mail and in any attachments is confidential and is designated solely for the attention of the intended recipient(s).

You are supposed to be able to do this.
