re: Unable to login to local LDAP server

[Alan Womack <arwbackup@worldnet.att.net>]

I've not seen that particular error message, but I have similiar issues from the PAM system-auth module when I have LDAP enabled in the account section.  Although, commenting out the line neuters ldap for login purposes, it does allow me to continue working on other issues until I can come back to that one.
