ldap_bind: Can't contact LDAP server

[Matthew Harrell <mharrell@bittwiddlers.com>]

Hi,
        I'm just starting out with setting up LDAP and I'm having a strange
problem.  When I run a search I get

        {54}: ldapsearch -s base -b cn=monitor 'objectclass=*'
        ldap_bind: Can't contact LDAP server

and the slapd logs report

        slapd[23931]: fd=6 connection from unknown (127.0.0.1) denied.

What's up?  I didn't see anything like this in the list archive so I figure
I'm doing something really stupid.  127.0.0.1 is in my hosts file and DNS
records so it shouldn't be unknown.  

Thanks

Here's my slapd.conf file:
