[Kroupware] could not bind anonymously -- error

[Holger Schröder]

Hi,

i successfully installed a kolab server on my gentoo box. it works quite fine, 
but the QIM manual is not very good, as the packages to build are listed in 
the wrong order and the apache rpm does not build with rpm -bb at all...

after i got aroung these problems, i had only one problem, i had to do the 
following changes to the file 
/kolab/var/kolab/www/admin/include/ldap_utils.php to "fix" the error messages 
saying "could not bind anonymously" when i had successfully logged into the
kolab web interface.

can somebody tell me if this is really needed, or what else went wrong for me?
does this have any security implications?

thanks, Holger
