Re: [Evolution] Strange ldap connections.

[Chris Toshok <toshok ximian com>]

Evolution wouldn't ever try to connect to an ldap server that you hadn't
entered, at least not for any contact information.  If you added an ldap
server to your list of completion sources it might still be trying to
contact it - there's a bug about the fact that we copy the url into the
list of completion sources.  So when you delete the LDAP server from
your Directory Servers settings it stays in the autocompletion list.

There are other reasons why ldap might be being used by an app (nss-ldap
possibly)  You could run ethereal or tcpdump or a similar tool and watch
the ldap traffic to your internal ldap server and see what's happening.
