For Dobrica - thanks for the response.  It doesn't really matter to me if this
gets 'fixed' or not - I put the bug in so other people could find it if they
had the same situation.  Making the change in koha-conf.xml is trivial.  

You're right that the documentation has id="ldapserver", but I don't think it
is clear that it has to be set that way.  I read the id="ldapserver" as
variable - you'd set this to whatever you wanted to call your ldapserver (in
our case the short server name).  This seems to fit better with HTML and XML in
general - you wouldn't have <div id="div">, you'd want the ID to be unique to
set it apart.  But in this case there aren't going to be multiple ldapservers,
so maybe it doesn't matter.  

David - you're right - it is not for the main/official libraries.  We have a
few 'media lab' spaces that circulate AV gear - still and video cameras,
microphones, etc.  They found the library's system (millennium, I think) didn't
work well for this sort of equipment.  They did the research and settled on
Koha - it has worked well for them and hasn't been too much work for me as an
administrator.
