Red Hat RPM Install Woes

Hi all,

As you can judge by this message's timestamp, I've been working on
this for several hours. :)

I'm trying to get OpenLDAP going on a RH 7.1 machine for a SourceForge
installation.  I've installed the RPMs (openldap, openldap-devel,
-servers, -clients) for version 2.0.7-14. Things seem to start fine
when running "/etc/init.d/ldap start", and there are no errors in
/var/log/messages.

However, I can't get ldapsearch to bind to the server. I tried
"ldapsearch -x -b '' -s base '(objectclass=*)' namingContents", and
"ldapsearch -s base -b '' -h localhost -p 389 'objectclass=*'".

The error is "Can't contact LDAP server".

"netstat -lp" says that slapd is listening on the ldap port (I guess
389). I also was able to build the latest distribution from source and
"make test" successfully.

I really don't know too much about LDAP and OpenLDAP, so I feel like
it's some stupid configuration issue on my part, or some weirdness in
the Red Hat setup. Can someone help me out? I tried the default config
files that came with the source, and that didn't work.  I'm attaching
my current ldap.conf and slapd.conf.

Thanks a lot,
David
