but that may not include 127.0.0.1, and (although I am not a
tcpwrappers expert) the order of entries in hosts.allow might be
stopping 'slapd:ALL' to be evaluated.

Anyway, I have one more suggestion, You might want to try Unix sockets instead of tcp. Start your 'slapd' like:

slapd -h'ldapi://a_file_name/'

(Where a_file_name is the unix socket name)

then try:

ldapsearch -H'ldapi://a_file_name/'

This should return something.

Good luck

Ziya.
