So I added the controls, but they don't seem to be working. We are getting =
a error code 53 (unwilling to preform) when we add the control to our reque=
st, so assuming there is something wrong with the control, but don't know e=
nough about ldap or the library to know what. Any ideas on what to try or w=
hat might be wrong?

Thanks for the suggestions and code examples. I'll work on adding this new =
control and let you know if I have any issues.

FTR, the code I provided yesterday night in one of my previous mail took
me around 30 mins, all included. For a more complex control, like
syncrepl, that would have takne a bit more time, mainly because you want
to add unit tests to cover teh various cases.

Now, I think that we should provide a bit of documentation about how to
implement a control...
