Remote Access

["Gregory P. Ennis" <PoMec@PoMec.Net>]

I am installing openldap for the first time and having some difficulties
getting it working on remote networks.  I have been able to have it work
perfectly inside a network, but unable to get two other networks
communicating properly.  This is surely an newbie question, but I have
not been able to find the problem.

I am running a fedora core 5 system with iptables opened for port 389, I
have selinux set to permissive, I have the firewall opened to every port
on the specified remote ip addresses.  (replaced with "##.##.##.##"
below.

Would appreciate your help.
