It means that the server doesn't allow anonymous binds with an
non-empty DN. I've updated my LDAP today also to 2.1.9, and got the
same error.
The fast solution:
Put the following line into slapd.conf:
allow bind_v2 bind_anon_dn
The more thorough solution would be to change lookup_ldap.c to do the
right things, like using the values from ldap.conf.
I will try to enter a bug at redhat's bugzilla against autofs.
Sincerely,
Klaus
