We never depened on the ldap service but I thought it would be a nifty thing
to try so I was able to get it running with this watch statement...
I figure checking for the admin userid should be good enough of a search
that will always return, and checking for the objectclass 'Top' should
always return as well... be warned thought as I just found out ojectclass
does not equate to objectClass.

Subject: how to use ldap.monitor against MS Exchange server
I'm trying to use ldap.monitor to watch LDAP service on an MS Exchange
server,
but it returns no entries. Anybody is successful using it? What parameters
need to be used?
Thanks,
