Hi all. I have a server at home (all stock 8.0 - full install), which I set up a quick and dirty ldap server on, and everything worked well! Very simple setup - I just used localhost, no security whatsoever (I'm firewalled and nat'd and stuff, and localhost's security is otherwise tight). Just wanted to see if it worked, and it did! Worked like a charm! I came to work, logged into another 8.0 box, downloaded the redhat openldap rpmz that were distributed with 8.0 and installed them, copied over my config files from home, made sure everything looked the same everywhere, and fired everything up. An ldapsearch says 'ldap_bind: can't contact LDAP server'. I can't ldapadd, either, obviously (but I did it just to check). I opened a window to my home machine and one on my local machine and the only difference I could see was that /var/lib/ldap at home had stuff in it, and the one here at work doesn't. I'm guessing that's because I actually did a successful 'ldapadd' at home, so maybe openldap doesn't create stuff until there's stuff to add to the directory? Permissions/modes/ownership is the same all over. /etc/init.d/ldap start gives me no errors, and there are no errors anywhere in /var/log (I grep'd the whole directory for 'ldap' and 'slapd'. Nothing). I compared the /etc/passwd entries for the 'ldap' user, and they're identical as well. Is there a way to get Openldap to give me ANY kind of information about what is going on here? Any other clues are more than welcome. I really don't want to have to use SunONE. :-( brian. -- Brian K.
