Noted :-). I assumed that the maintainer will be reading the list. I
remember seeing his mails in the archive.

I didn't mean python-ldap distribution to turn on SSL by default. Redhat 7.3
OpenLDAP libraries ship with SSL option compiled in. So it makes sense for
the RPM to be built with the option turned on. Again, this is an issue for
the package maintainer.
