Re: initial login problems

I am pretty new to ldap, but i think everything looks in order, i am
gettin an error on ldap startup:

Aug 17 22:37:24 localhost slapd[3426]: auxpropfunc error invalid
parameter supplied
Aug 17 22:37:24 localhost slapd[3426]: _sasl_plugin_load failed on
sasl_auxprop_plug_init for plugin: ldapdb

could this be part of the problem?
