Ok. Thanks. I'll have a look.

0.12 is definitely not good; I accidentally ran a build against it and it generated an undefined constant error ("QB_IPC_something"; unfortunately don't remember which one exactly)

I allready noticed some discrepancies in ldirectord package now that it uses systemd and the actual (default) configuration has moved to /etc/ha.d/ldirectord.cf (and no longer in /etc/ldirectord.cf, as used to be and still referenced in /etc/default/ldirectord and /etc/init.d/ldirectord, both ignored by ldirectord.service)
