Now that Ihave thought about it, I probably should have included some blurps from my logs, but here goes anyway.... LDAP has been tough goin for me. Server's runnin, created a ldif, and successfully did a ldif2ldbm on it. I can run searches thru the command line (ldapsearch), and can browse the directory I created from the ldif above (using GQ); but searching thru either Netscape (Linux), Outlook, or even searchs thru the gtk-based GQ all fail. Any guidance as to why the gui's are failing on searches? Mike mgcon@getnet.com http://www.getnet.com/~mgcon Phoenix, AZ USA
