ldap_search: No such object

[Janet Lipham <janet@thinkologies.com>]

I am trying to use openldap 1.2.10 under Solaris 8. We are using openldap
with SAS 8.1 (8e) which is only compatible with openldap version 1. I
compiled the code using gcc with the following options:

	env \
	ac_cv_func_pthread_create=no ol_cv_kthread_flag=no \
	ol_cv_pthread_flag=no ol_cv_pthreads_flag=no \
	ol_cv_thread_flag=no \
	CPPFLAGS="-I/usr/local/BerkeleyDB/include" \
	LDFLAGS="-L/usr/local/BerkeleyDB/lib" \
	./configure \
	--with-ldbm-api=db2 \
	--with-threads (I have also compiled it without this option)

My slapd.conf looks like this:
	#
	# See slapd.conf(5) for details on configuration options.
	# This file should NOT be world readable.
	#
	include         /usr/local/etc/openldap/slapd.at.conf
	include         /usr/local/etc/openldap/slapd.oc.conf
	schemacheck     off
	#referral       ldap://root.openldap.org/

	pidfile         /usr/local/var/slapd.pid
	argsfile        /usr/local/var/slapd.args
	
	# turns on logging to /var/local/debug!  must restart syslogd as
well
	loglevel        -1

	# cleartext passwords, especially for the rootdn, should
	# be avoid.  See slapd.conf(5) for details.
	directory       /usr/local/etc/openldap/db

I start slapd and then do an ldapsearch (per the Quick Start instructions)
to look at the inital contents of the database.  If I enter the command
"ldapsearch -b 'o=Global eVentures, c=US' objectclass=*", I get the error
"ldap_search: No such object".

I've run slapd with -d 255, and the output when I run this query is:

	select activity on 1 descriptors
	new connection on 5
	activity on:
	listening for connections on 3, activity on: 5r
	before select active_threads 0
	select activity on 1 descriptors
	activity on: 5r
	read activity on 5
	ber_get_next
	ber_get_next: tag 0x30 len 37 contents:

	          current len 5, contents:
	        02 01 02  B 00

	before select active_threads 1
	select failed errno 9 (Bad file number)
	listening for connections on 3, activity on:
	before select active_threads 1

I've also tried trussing the command and I get a lot of Err#25 ENOTTY
messages.

I have another Solaris 8 system I compiled and ran this on with no problems.
The ldapsearch command works on this system to dump the contents of the
database, so I have confidence that the syntax is correct.

Any suggestions from the experienced OpenLDAP community? This is my first
experience with it.
