sorry about the -x, was just doing what the openldap common errors page 
said to do.

ok I did the command and I get the no such object still like you said.

ldapsearch -x -b "ou=People,dc=mdah,dc=state,dc=ms,dc=us" -s base 
'(objectclass=*)'
# extended LDIF
#
# LDAPv3
# base <ou=People,dc=mdah,dc=state,dc=ms,dc=us> with scope base
# filter: (objectclass=*)
# requesting: ALL
#

# search result
search: 2
result: 32 No such object

# numResponses: 1


I tried suffix of dc=ms,dc=us and just dc=us and get the same No such 
object.  How do I fix that?  thanks
