LDAP and Novell's eDirectory

[Michael Basso]

I installed Freeradius ver.1.0.1 and successfully authenticated against local 
users on my Red Hat Enterprise ver.2.1 system.  I then tried to configure it 
to authenticated users on a Novell server via LDAP. It did not work.  Here is 
the log from the Novell server:

[2004/12/08  9:24:43] Found available monitor 0x93a

Here is the output from the freeradius debugger:
