Hello,

I'm running openldap on my main server and i can use this for my local tty
logins rather than using the /etc/passwd file. I want to be able to access
this from a networked machine now.

On the remote machine I have set up /etc/openldap/ldap.conf file to be
identical to the same file on the ldap server with the exception of the
host value.

My nsswitch says 'files ldap' for passwd and group.

I can't seem to get the remote machine to authenticate against the ldap
server though.

On the server I can use ldapsearch -x 'sn=robinson' title sn and I get the
entries I expect.

If I do the same on the remote system I get:

# extended LDIF
#
# LDAPv3
# filter: sn=robinson
# requesting: title sn
#

# search result
search: 2
result: 0 Success

# numResponses: 1

I've even tried the ldapsearch with -h ldap_server_name and get the same
results.

If I do a netstat I can see that the remote machine has tried to establish
a connection with the server.

What do I need to do to get the remote machine 'talking' succesfully to the
ldap server?

Thanks
