Odd response from an LDAP query

[bondpaper <bondpaper@earthlink.net>]

I finally figured out a way around the delay problem I was having (by 
including the -h option in the command line), but just for fun, I 
removed the namingContexts from the standard 'test query' to see what 
would happen, and I get what looks like my entire home directory. The 
query looks like this:

ldapsearch -x -h 192.168.1.23 -x -b '' -s base '(objectclass=*)'

Since the directory specified in /etc/openldap/slapd.conf is 
/var/lib/ldap, Can someone explain this?

Thanks.
