#35 Always follows aliases if "deref always" is set in ldap.conf

Hi,

when "deref always" is set in /etc/ldap/ldap.conf Luma always dereferences aliases, regardless of the setting in the server configuration dialog. Adding the following 4 x 2 lines should cure this:

Sorry for the formatting, i thought i could edit my post after submitting ... the 2 added lines on 4 positions are "else: ...DEREF_NEVER)", see attachment.
