Listmates,

        I have lost a great amount of hair trying to determine why I cannot
connect to/add anything to ldap on a 10.0 server, where the exact same
setup works fine on another 10.0 server. Something a simple as a search
fails to bind with or without a password. Here as the symptoms and errors:

[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/home/david # ldapsearch -x -b dc=3111skyline,dc=com
"(objectClass=*)"
ldap_bind: Can't contact LDAP server (-1)

[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/home/david # ldapsearch -W -b dc=3111skyline,dc=com -D
cn=admin,dc=3111skyline,dc=com "(objectClass=*)"
Enter LDAP Password:
ldap_sasl_interactive_bind_s: Can't contact LDAP server (-1)

        The same errors occur with ldapadd as well. The only way I can get data
into the directory is by shutting down the server and using slapadd,
which works fine, but it is not optimal. slapcat correctly dumps the
directory back to ldif. But when the server is running, I cannot seem to
connect no matter what. The strange problem is that I have another SuSE
10.0 server, configured the same way, that everything works fine on. So
much for consistency. Permissions and ownership of /var/lib/ldap are fine:

[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/home/david # l /var/lib/ldap

        Here is the very basic setup with very little modification from the
original (standard comments removed):

[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/home/david # cat /etc/openldap/slapd.conf
include         /etc/openldap/schema/core.schema
include         /etc/openldap/schema/cosine.schema
include         /etc/openldap/schema/inetorgperson.schema
include         /etc/openldap/schema/rfc2307bis.schema
include         /etc/openldap/schema/yast.schema

argsfile        /var/run/slapd/slapd.args
modulepath      /usr/lib/openldap/modules
loglevel -1

access to dn.base=""
        by * read

access to dn.base="cn=Subschema"
        by * read

access to attr=userPassword,userPKCS12
        by self write
        by * auth

access to attr=shadowLastChange
        by self write
        by * read

access to *
        by self write
        by * read

database        bdb
checkpoint      1024    5
cachesize       10000
suffix          "dc=3111skyline,dc=com"
rootdn          "cn=admin,dc=3111skyline,dc=com"
rootpw          {SSHA}<password removed>
directory       /var/lib/ldap
index   objectClass     eq

        The startup log looks fine as far as I can tell:

        I'm really stumped on this one. It has to be a setting somewhere, but
where and what is the question. This also may be a forest for the trees
issue that I just can't see yet. Does anyone have a guess what could be
preventing me from being able to connect to the server. I'm working from
localhost, so this isn't even a remote connection issue. As always, any
help will be appreciated. Thanks!
