== Parameter in config file ==

Hi I am tring to install powerdns with ldap backend.
In /usr/local/pdns/etc/pdns.conf I added.

* launch=ldap
* ldap-host (default "ldap://127.0.0.1:389/")
* ldap-basedn (default "ou=hosts,dc=exemple,dc=net")
* ldap-binddn (default "cn=admin,dc=exemple,dc=net")
* ldap-secret (default "password")
* ldap-method (default "simple")

and I get this error in /varf/log/syslog:

 Respawning
 pdns[30325]: Guardian is launching an instance
 pdns[30325]: This is a guarded instance of pdns
 pdns[30325]: Fatal error: Trying to set unexisting parameter 'ldap-host
 (default "ldap://127.0.0.1:389/")'
 pdns[22533]: Our pdns instance exited with code 1

The correct syntax is:
* launch=ldap
* ldap-host=ldap://127.0.0.1:389/
* ldap-basedn=ou=hosts,dc=exemple,dc=net
* ldap-binddn=cn=admin,dc=exemple,dc=net
* ldap-secret=password
* ldap-method=simple

Keyword and value must be separated by an equal sign.
