Correct me if I'm wrong here, but AFAIK /etc/openldap/ldap.conf is used
by the openldap clients like ldapsearch ldapadd... whereas
/etc/ldap.conf is for pam_ldap and nss_ldap from PADL. They shouldn't be
the same file at all. Despite sharing some common directives such as
HOST and BASE, im not sure if the pam_ldap/nss_ldap specific options are
silently ignored by the openldap clienttools. If that is true,
/etc/openldap/ldap.conf could be overwritten by pam_ldap/nss_ldap during
install but not the other way round.
kind regards Paul
