[KLUG Members] debug ldap failure

[Richard Harding]

I wanted to start playing with my ldap goals and found this nice article 
on ldap and exim...it's just something to start playing with at the moment.

I have courier and ldap set up. I managed to add a user and set up the 
users mailbox. Once you have courier set up to authenticate to ldap the 
instructions have a line to test telnetting in with the ldap account, 
which is failing.

Now to debug this the author suggests running  slapd from the command 
line like so:
slapd -d1

Now when I do this and try to telnet to port 143 on another terminal I 
see all kinds of work being done in the ldap query, but I am having a 
really hard time making heads or tails of it.

It looks like the binding is failing I guess, because of this line:
connection_get(12): got connid=0
  but I am not sure. Anyone have a handy debug reference where I can try 
to follow what is going on better?

Thanks.

Here is the output when I try to auth in its entirety.
