Debian lenny & ldap

Trying a lenny install the other day, I ran into LDAP problems afterwards (i.e. automatic LDAP connections/lookups weren't working, although as I recall ldapsearch worked fine).

This bug report summarises the issue - the solution is to add

ssl on

to your /etc/libnss-ldap.conf file. Adding this to pam_ldap.conf if you use PAM & LDAP together may also be necessary.
