Well... ldap_open() and ldap_init() return a pointer
just like fopen() does. I only saw your code fragment
and assumed you'd do something like:

LDAP *dldap_open()  /* Get a handle to an LDAP connection. */

{
  LDAP *ld=NULL;

  if ((ld = ldap_open(LDAP_SERVER, LDAP_PORT)) == NULL)  {
    stslog(LOG_ERR,"ldap_open(%s %u) failed",DLDAP_SERVER,LDAP_PORT);
    return(NULL);
  }
  return(ld);
}
