Can anybody confirm that LDAPUserFolder (1.6 beta 2) works ok with Zope 
2.6.0? The docs mention it working with 2.5, but make no mention of 2.6. 
I am having some major issues) described below, which seem to stop me 
from being able to run it at all.

I am running RedHat 7.3, openldap-clients-2.0.23-4, 
python-ldap-2.0.0pre06, and am trying to use LDAPUserFolder 1.6 beta 2. 
I have installed pythin-ldap for the copy of python included in my zope 
install, and have verified that I am able to connect to the LDAP server 
(MS Active Directory in this case), so there are no issues at that level 
as far as I can tell.

When I try to add an instance of the LDAPUserFolder, pressing the 'add' 
button results in a 'hang', with my browser never coming back. If I am 
browsing the zope mangement tree, and then try to hit the folder with 
the ldapuserfolder also 'hangs'. If I shut down everything, and hit the 
management url again (coming in completely unauthenticated), then I get 
the browser id/password popup, and entering in a name and hitting enter 
will also result in a hang.

I am able to go in via the zope admin/emergency use, and take a look at 
the ldapuserfolder, which seems to be ok, and kill it, etc.

So as far as I can tell, LDAPUserfolder is simply hanging when it goes 
in and tries to do a lookup. There is no exception, and nothing put in 
the log.

Any suggestions would be much appreciated...
