Thanks Howard,

I'm looking at upgrading our OpenLDAP port to 2.4.23 so I can make use of this, but in doing it I think I spotted a bug with this new callback.

In function ldap_connect_to_host are two calls to . The first for "#if defined( HAVE_GETADDRINFO ) && defined( HAVE_INET_NTOP )" looks OK, but the 2nd for the #else case of that is this:

        i = ldap_int_connect_cbs( ld, sb, &s, srv, (struct sockaddr *)&sin );
        if ( i )
                rc = i;
        else
                break;

But this is inside a for loop that uses i as a counter for the loop control. ldap_int_connect_cbs returns an error code so, unless I'm missing something, setting i to that will break the loop control.

Shall I put in a bug report for this?
