My utils tell me "Can't connect to server", and slapd spits out an odd BER parsing error. Simple Binds, searches, etc work, but not GSSAPI. In the process, I found this useful hidden treasure trove: http://ftp.suse.com/pub/projects/OpenLDAP/ I grabbed the SRPM from this site, modified the dependencies to work with SLES 9 (deleted libzio and libnscd from "BuildRequires"), did an rpmbuild, and *bam* - functional OpenLDAP 2.2.23 server/plugins/client RPMs. HTH, -Matt Matthew J.
