Problems with netscape roaming... perhaps a netscape bug?

[Gil Bahat <coutal@linux.makif.omer.k12.il>]

Hello all,
i'm trying to implement a setup of netscape roaming profiles server,
using openldap 1.2.7 with AF patch. i always seem to get an error
when trying to log on with communicator (4.6). however, syslog lists this as
a succesful search (nentries=1), and trying to perform the exact same search
with ldapsearch and the same bound DN/password is succesful. setting
"defaultaccess=write" did not help either - still the same error
(authorization failure). viewing debug logs and mailing list archives showed
nothing. am i missing something trivial, or is it a genuine netscape bug?
