Re: can't contact LDAP server

Christiana wanted us to know:

On the server, run 'netstat -ltn'.  Make sure you see:
Active Internet connections (only servers)
Proto Recv-Q Send-Q Local Address           Foreign Address    State   
tcp        0      0 0.0.0.0:389             0.0.0.0:*          LISTEN

If it's listening on 127.0.0.1, that's why.

If it is in fact listening on 0.0.0.0, then take a look at any
firewall that is running on that server.

Probably because it also tries to bind to an IPv6 address which is not
defined on your machine.  That's usually not a problem.
