Failed to auth telnet via LDAP

["Alexei Monastyrnyi" <alexeim@orcsoftware.com>]

Hi List.
I'm experiencing a problem in making telnet authentication via LDAP up and
running.
I'm trying to telnet to client with username "erik" and valid password and
have "login incorrect" answer.
At the LDAP server's log I can see:

Meaning of (*) and (**) above is of particular interest.

I'm running OpenLDAP 2.1.17 on Solaris 9 box as server and FreeBSD 4.7 with
pam_ldap_161 as client.

Thanks in advance for any hint.
