[Fedora-directory-users] Slapd error 153 installing FDS 1.0.2 on FC4

[Jeremy Bender]

Richard,

Thank you for the response.  Your suggestion got me pointed in the right
 direction:  An old line in the /etc/hosts was pointing this system's
hostname to the ip of the system that used to have that name, so
resolution through dns returned the correct answer, but 'files' was
specified first in nssearch, and thus the system was using the value
from the hosts file.

Thanks again!

Jeremy
