Re: RESULT err=9

Ian,

Also, the search filter should be "(objectclass=*)".  I think
"o=*" would just search for "organizations", but that doesn't
explain why the search is hanging.  I'd expect the search
to produce "ldap_search: No such object" errors rather
than hang.   The err=9 in your syslog means "partial results".
Do you have any referrals in your slapd.conf?  Perhaps
your server is referring ldapsearch to another ldap server
that it can't get reach.  Try starting the server with debugging
enabled (with "-d 1" for starters) and using ldapsearch -v to
see if you can get more info about what the server and client
are doing.
