shell backend problem

["Ignite! Solutions" <ignite@techie.com>]

Hi, I've been trying to get my shell program to work but to no avail. My
slapd.conf is as follows:

include         /usr/local/etc/openldap/schema/core.schema
include         /usr/local/etc/openldap/schema/cosine.schema
include         /usr/local/etc/openldap/schema/inetorgperson.schema
database        shell
suffix          "dc=test, dc=com"
search          /usr/local/ids/bin/search.pl

And whenever I do a LDAP search, I get the following from slapd:

[root@asswipe /root]# /usr/local/libexec/slapd -d 4
daemon_init: <null>
daemon: socket() failed errno=22 (Invalid argument)
slapd starting

send_ldap_result: 10::
ber_flush: 14 bytes to sd 9
connection_get(9)
send_ldap_result: 53::unbind not implemented

It seems that slapd is returning ldap_result 10 (referral) without even
executing my search script! (i tested it by making my search script write to
a file, which in the end it didn't as it wasn't even executed)

someone please help!
