[X-Unix] Confused Finder in Panther

[Juan Manuel Palacios]

	I believe a good place to ask this type of question is on the 
"macos-x-server at lists.apple.com" mailing lists, dealing with all kinds 
of issues related to Mac OS X Server and networked Macs. I used to 
belong to it and many times did I see LDAP questions flying around, so 
I believe you got a good chance there.

	Hope that helps. Regards,...
