Hi Michael,

The debug level had me stumped last night, thanks. This shows some 
reference to bind. I'm hoping this is not bind as in dns bind, but bind as 
in ldap_bind. I don't run dns on this machine, and if I were going to, I 
would probably set up dbjdns as a preference.

How do I pursue err no. 48?

Thanks again.
