Well, actually, all the reading was done v3. And the bind always failed, as far
as I can tell. But I had the password attributes configured world-readable, so
that didn't make any difference.

I must admit, I completely overlooked the 'version' keyword in the conf file
and all the man pages... I feel very stupid right now, but thanks a lot for
pointing this out to me! I'll try again on monday.
