[rt-users] RT::Extension::LDAPImport install fails

[Giuseppe Sollazzo]

Hi Kevin,
thanks for the clarification. I'm not practical with perl/cpan in 
general and trying to find my way trough.

I'm surprised no other users have experienced a similar problem when 
installing Net::LDAP::Server::Test, but I'll give a look - it seems to 
try using that port even upon rebooting.

Thanks,
G
