You could be right on this but this is a 2nd install and not my home
setup and not converted from openldap but an entirely new setup.

# ldapsearch -x -h localhost -b "dc=clsurvey,dc=com" \
-D "cn=Directory Manager" -W '(uid=jim)'
Enter LDAP Password:
# extended LDIF
#
# LDAPv3
# base <dc=clsurvey,dc=com> with scope sub
# filter: (uid=jim)
# requesting: ALL
#

# jim, People, Accounts, clsurvey.com
dn: uid=jim,ou=People,ou=Accounts,dc=clsurvey,dc=com

<<snip>>

# search result
search: 2
result: 0 Success

# numResponses: 2
# numEntries: 1

but /etc/ldap.conf that has...

# cat /etc/ldap.conf
#
host 127.0.0.1
base dc=clsurvey,dc=com
rootbinddn "cn=Directory Manager"
nss_base_passwd         ou=People,ou=Accounts,dc=clsurvey,dc=com?one
nss_base_passwd         ou=Computers,ou=Accounts,dc=clsurvey,dc=com?one
nss_base_shadow         ou=People,ou=Accounts,dc=clsurvey,dc=com?one
nss_base_group          ou=Groups,dc=clsurvey,dc=com?one

and /etc/ldap.secret with the same password that I type in response to
the credential request in my ldapsearch command above should work.

Instead the logs show...

### ldapsearch ###
[07/Dec/2005:07:42:05 -0700] conn=185 op=0 BIND dn="cn=Directory
Manager" method=128 version=3
[07/Dec/2005:07:42:05 -0700] conn=185 op=0 RESULT err=0 tag=97
nentries=0 etime=0 dn="cn=directory manager"
[07/Dec/2005:07:42:05 -0700] conn=185 op=1 SRCH
base="dc=clsurvey,dc=com" scope=2 filter="(uid=jim)" attrs=ALL
[07/Dec/2005:07:42:05 -0700] conn=185 op=1 RESULT err=0 tag=101
nentries=1 etime=0
[07/Dec/2005:07:42:05 -0700] conn=185 op=2 UNBIND

### getent passwd ###
[07/Dec/2005:07:46:53 -0700] conn=186 op=0 BIND dn="\22cn=Directory
Manager\22" method=128 version=3
[07/Dec/2005:07:46:53 -0700] conn=186 op=0 RESULT err=32 tag=97
nentries=0 etime=0
[07/Dec/2005:07:46:53 -0700] conn=186 op=1 UNBIND

Which turned out that it was the quotation marks around the rootbinddn
value in /etc/ldap.conf - the log viewer in the console didn't reveal
that issue but the plain text version of the logs made it clear to me.
(The console simply showed 2 sets of double quotes).

Thanks
