[Fedora-directory-users] Password Sync Search Scope

[Brian Peters]

Well, I got impatient and did a little digging through the source and 
found out the bad news for myself, but then I found some good news at 
least.  It looks like the current release has the search scope hardcoded 
as one-level, but the bug had already been located and fixed as of this 
commit in June:

https://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-directory-commits/2005-June/msg00000.html

So, I guess anyone else with this problem needs to wait for the next 
release (or recompile if they are impatient).
