replace dn == NULL with *dn == NULL
Comment 1 Kurt Zeilenga 1998-12-21 16:56:01 UTC 
Please elborate.  The check is to ensure the dn argument, a
pointer, is non-NULL and to return false if is NULL.  You
change would remove this sanity check and disallow the root
DN from being the ROOT DSE (I'm not why anyone would want to
do this, but they could).

Original code is correct.
