there is no search base (-b) in your ldapsearch ...

I too, try 

ldapsearch -x -w secret -D "cn=ldapmanager,dc=engborgs,dc=com" -h
192.168.0.19 -b dc=engborgs,dc=com "(objectclass=*)"

or 

ldapsearch -x -w secret -D "cn=ldapmanager,dc=engborgs,dc=com" -h
192.168.0.19 -b uid=root,ou=People,dc=engborgs,dc=com "(objectclass=*)"

This should return some entries. 

You can specify a default search base (and host, bind DN, ...) in
ldap.conf or ~/ldaprc

If this does not work you may play around with some ACLs or the
'defaultaccess'.

hope this helps,
Knut
