Hi,

I think this is about the same matter. If I remember correctly, I have
originally using "LDAPSearchScope subtree", which at some moment was broken
(bug#500731), and then I tried "LDAPServer ldap://localhost??sub" which also
didn't work, but after updating to v1.3.2 it worked fine. Then I believe it was
broken again (bug#637744).

Maybe I miss something (quite some time had passed), however I confirm that
"LDAPServer ldap://localhost??sub" works for me since v1.3.2 up to v1.3.5a-1
which I am using now.

Do you want to focus on "LDAPSearchScope subtree" issue at the moment?
Well, I quickly tried

LDAPServer localhost                                                                                    
LDAPSearchScope subtree                                                                                 

and it seems to work as expected. I cannot be 100% sure, but I'll let one
know in bugzilla if I find any problem.
