Hi,

I have seen in several recently submitted patches that some people still 
use the old LDAP API. It is deprecated and is going to be removed soon, 
so please don't use it anymore.

Whenever you have an urge to do something like this:

     dn, entry_attrs = ldap.get_entry(...)
     ...
     ldap.update_entry(dn, entry_attrs)

Do this instead:

     entry = ldap.get_entry(...)
     ...
     ldap.update_entry(entry)

Thanks!

Honza
