Nope no js errors but OTOH there isn't that much js to begin with. I guess it's a 
server side thing. Do you have any dependency detection that will disable the fields 
if the dependencies are missing?

I had the same problem, fixed it by installing the python-ldap and python-dns packages (Ubuntu 10.04 LTS Server). There should perhaps be a sign showing that required dependencies are missing.

This looks like it's fixed in the new admin.
