    It seems to work for me:

    [bgmilne:~]# ldapsearch -x -ZZ -LL "(uid=bgmilne)" dn
    version: 1

    dn: uid=bgmilne,ou=People,dc=cae,dc=co,dc=za

    This box is running cooker (updated this morning from yesterday's packages)

    (getent passwd also works, even after restarting nscd having changed ssl
    to start_tls from ssl and back).

    Note that at one stage there was an issue with using SSL/TLS on the
    server (IIRC). But I just tested on the server also:

    [caepdc:/home/users/bgmilne]# ldapsearch -x -ZZ -LL "(uid=bgmilne)" dn
    version: 1

    dn: uid=bgmilne,ou=People,dc=cae,dc=co,dc=za

    Do you get anything in the logs?

    If possible, would you have a chance to look at Kerberos also? The only
    problem we have before we start rolling out more Mandrake desktops is
    disconnected authentication, which I think Kerberos is capable of (with
    slave servers). LDAP slaves doesn't seem feasible (having to restart the
    LDAP server in read-only mode every time you add a slave).

    Only answer I have is "it works for me".

    Anyone else?
