Someone eagerly demanded a version of ldapclient with LDAP Search Filter support. So others also might be interested in this patch. After applying it you can do such nifty things as the following (or even more complicated stuff):

thomas@tyr:~/src/tinyldap$ ./ldapclient 130.157.5.18 \
> 'o=Sonoma State University, C=US' \
> '(&(cn=S*t*e*)(description=*Professor*)(!(description=*History*)))' \

About a month ago I finished writing my "Seminarfacharbeit" about "Sicherere latenzarme Kommunikationswege mit IPsec" (Get it!).

At the moment I'm also thinking about writing a small HTTP proxy, which allows proxy-chaining and external filters. Squid is too heavyweight for my purpose.
