Thanks for the tip.  I made the change and I am still getting the same
basic error.
It does not think there is a successful bind and won't honor my search request.

Also, if there is a really good book I can buy that will help figure
out the intricacies of OpenLDAP, please recommend it.
I understand LDAP and I have managed a couple of different
Directory-type products that are LDAP-based (Windows NT domain,
Microsoft Active Directory, CA eTrust Directory).  This is my first
foray into OpenLDAP and, so far, I don't understand it.  And that's
frustrating.

Thanks again for your patience,

-Jason
