Well, we run Solaris here (that is what our OpenLDAP servers are running 
on).

Of course, we have highly customized builds that only install a bare 
minimum of the OS.  Generally, I believe Sun installs SunOne Directory 
server/client software on their systems.  I am curious if the ldap* 
commands being run are the OpenLDAP ones or the Solaris ones.  Other things 
to look at are a netstat -a output to see what's listening to port 389.
