I'm agree with you for this point !

Ok. But for the future, is there any other solution ?

We have 3 solutions :
- check both v2 and v3 in tne main scirpt check_ldap,
- add a check_ldap3,
- add a argument to check_ldap,
- create a script which migrate old Nagios installation and change v2 to v3 is 
LDAP uses v3 (allow bind_v2 is not present).

I have a preference for the first of them. Could we have the opinion of Nagios 
packaging team ?

Thanks,
