Problems with access directive



As the subject line eludes to I am having difficulty with the access
directive. Bottom line is this, if I place any access directive into
my slapd.conf file I can no longer browse the directory. For example
the following directive causes me to no longer see the attributes of
the base DN or anything else for that matter.

access to dn.subtree="dc=ca,dc=myrealdomain,dc=com" attrs=userPassword
        by self write
        by anonymous auth
	by * none

Here is the output from the logfile starting from right after I made
the change, restarted the service and attached to the LDAP service

slapd[20313]: bdb_initialize: Sleepycat Software: Berkeley DB 4.1.25: (December 19, 2002)

OS is RedHat ver. 9
OpenLDAP is ver. 2.1.22

This is a very vanilla install, there is no TLS, SASL or other 
obvious factors that are complicating this matter. Thanks in advance
for any help.
