I use Solaris 9 and pretty much all recent openldap releases (2.1 and 2.2)
compile and run "out of box" for me.

Thanks for all the input so far - apolgies about the intial input, I'm using 2.2.5 - I need the syncrep and the latest version seemed appropriate.

I'll try out the ai_socktype mod tomorrow when I'm back at the office, but one thing I discoved last thing on Firday night was that if broke the connection to the nearest dns server, openldap worked fine. I then ran a snoop and discovered that, because we're using NAT, the openldap server is asking the dns server for an unknown address - ie the localhost, which has been expanded to the full (hidden) expanded hostname, which in turn throws up a whole load of errors. Strange - I didn't have this problem with openldap 2.1

Perhaps there is an option for using a built in getaddrinfo in openldap instead of the solaris/gcc one.

Cheers
Buzz
