This would not be related to running OpenLDAP on Solaris, but to catering to 
the brokenness of Solaris' ldapclient, regardless of whether the OpenLDAP 
server runs on Linux or any other platform.

I am not sure about Solaris 10, but for Solaris 9, if you wanted to use this 
method of configuring ldapclient, you need your LDAP server to return all 
operational attributes when the client doesn't request them (which, according 
to RFCs, it should do).

The 'allop' overlay in contrib should do this for you.

ldapclient has some issues, good luck.
