Heya,

I see what you are saying, the problem as I see it is that the action we are taking here is "disable chasing ldap referrals". If the name is ldapreferrals and we use a boolean then setting it to 1  reads in a counter intuitive manner: 

That assumes that the default in the ldap library is always going to be to chase them. Does the standard somehow mandate that it should be?
 

  "set ldapreferals=true to disable chasing LDAP referrals."

You'd obviously reverse the meaning as well. "set ldapreferals=false to disable chasing LDAP referrals."
 

Perhaps you are fine with this though if it's documented? It does work in the inverse way to pam_ldap, where setting to true enables referral chasing. pam_ldap works like so:

  not set  : library default
  set to 0 : disable referral chasing
  set to 1 : enable referral chasing


That is exactly what I'm suggesting it should do, and I'm pretty sure that's what Peter suggested as well.
