i'm baffled (openldap on redhat 6)

[Mark Williamson <mwilliamson@verio.net>]

I'm at a loss, and i've read the FAQ, Docs, README, INSTALL files.  

Shouldn' this thing work after i've followed the instructions?

I continue to get this DSA is unwilling to perform.

Yes, there's lots of questions in this mailing list on this problem.  But i
haven't found the answer yet.

I populated the database with some data with ldif2ldbm with no problems.

Then, i ran the ldapsearch with the slapd running in full debug mode in
another telnet window.
Can someone see anything wrong with this.

the command given is:  ldapsearch -b 'dc=Verio, dc=COM' 'cn=*'
