ldap_search_s fails?

[Jason Gerfen <jason.gerfen@scl.utah.edu>]

Problem trying to find users in LDAP using the following code...

   printf("Enter ID to search for:\n");
   gets(&unid);

   sprintf(buffer, "(CN=%s)", &unid);
   printf("Searching for: %s\n", buffer);

   if(ldap_search_s(ld, "ou=users,dc=domain,dc=com", LDAP_SCOPE_BASE,
                    buffer, NULL, 0, &res) != LDAP_SUCCESS) {
       printf("Search failed\n");
       ldap_perror(ld,"ldap_search_s");
   }

   printf("Search made\n");

   if(ldap_first_entry(ld, res) == 0) {
       printf("No results found for %s\n", buffer);
   }

I have done the following, verified the user does indeed exist in the 
default DN to search within', verified the "buffer" var is formated 
correctly using the sprint() call.  If I use "\"(CN=%s)\"", buffer I 
recieve search filter and application termination errors.  but if I 
remove the var "buffer" and hard code the ID as "(CN=username)" it works 
fine and returns the results.

Am I missing something?
