Yes. Thanks, I have this page book marked. Content looks identical to what I have...I have spent days on this googling with no joy. Since a Debian LDAP client also does not work I suspect it is a server side FDS mis-configuration and not client side, but I could be wrong. Previously I had a Debian Openldap setup working and that was fine. So it looks like something is missing/broken in FDS. I find it interesting that yours is the only reply for what I assume is a default type of problem....suggests a poor likelihood of the product being supportable long term.... regards Steven Jones Senior Linux/Unix/San/Vmware System Administrator APG -Technology Integration Team Victoria University of Wellington Phone: +64 4 463 6272 -----Original Message----- From: fedora-directory-users-bounces@xxxxxxxxxx [mailto:fedora-directory-users-bounces@xxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Richard Megginson Sent: Tuesday, 11 September 2007 3:31 a.m. To: General discussion list for the Fedora Directory server project.
