I take it something is really missing here. Someone else suggested it 
could be ldap.conf (which is empty), but since it isn't mentioned at 
all in the quickstart guide up to the point where a first connection to 
the server is done to run a check, I think it might be preliminary to 
assume that would be it, no? Not unless the ldap.conf file is supposed to 
be populated but isn't.... 

Thanks Jeremy.
