If you can't, there can be at least two reasons for this: 1)Is slapd listening on the IP address for chief.math.uvic.ca (under Linux, 'netstat -plnt|grep :389' would help you check, the command/options may be different - or not available - under HPUX)? If slapd isn't listening on the relevant IP address, check the arguments that slapd was started with, e.g. I would expect this behaviour if slapd had been started with something like '-h ldap:///localhost' or '-h ldap:///127.0.0.1' 2)Is there a host-level firewall in place (I guess this is unlikely under HPUX, but still worth asking)?
