Re: Redhat 9 problems

If you have iptables running it's probably blocking your LDAP port.  For a 
test, you could do 

service iptables stop

and see if OpenLDAP works then.  Be aware that you are taking down your 
firewall when you do this, though - if you are on an unsecured network you will 
want to be careful that you have insecure services (like samba) turned off 
first.

xinetd is not used to invoke ldap; the ldap daemons run standalone.  If it's up 
and running, you can see the daemons with ps -aef (look for slapd instances).
