Hi there,

I'm reading through your admin guide & on page:
http://www.openldap.org/doc/admin24/slapdconfig.html
the last line of section 6.3.2 looks to me like it might have an error in it?

The text says: 
"Some factors may not be appropriate in all environments (or any). For example,
the domain factor relies on IP to domain name lookups. As these can easily
spoofed, the domain factor should _*not*_ be avoided."

The way it's phrased, I would have expected the final sentence to read:  
"As these can easily spoofed, the domain factor should be avoided."

(the 'not' appears to be at odds with the 'avoided')

(also, I think there's a 'be' missing between 'easily' and 'spoofed').

Thanks very much for your excellent software and very thorough and helpful
documentation!

Kara
