Anyone have experience with this?

I've set it up, and the LDAP service is definitely working...  when I use
checkpassword on the server, with the command

        qmail-popup localhost /qmail-1.03/checkpassword pwd

it authenticates me fine.  But when I move the checkpassword into the /bin
directory and try to connect from another machine, it rejects me.  In this
case, I'm using Outlook 2000, so all I get is a password box back in my face
(ie: no helpful output) but I suspect that there wouldn't be much
information returned anyway.

A small sample from the ldif file before I ldbm it:

dn: cn=John Smith
cn: John Smith
sn: Smith
objectClass: qmailUser
objectClass: person
mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
mailHost: mail.budget.co.nz
mailMessageStore: /home/jsmith/Mailbox/
qmailUser: jsmith
qmailUID: 666
qmailGID: 666
uid: jsmith
userPassword: xxxxxxxxxxx

the user password is using the same encryption scheme as the passwd file
(DES?) and before you ask, yes, I do use maildirs called Mailbox...  it's
from when I first setup qmail and was a bit confused when I copied and
pasted some example lines into my startup files... suffice to say it's
easier to leave it like that for now.

Anyway, I know the LDAP service works properly, and as I say, the manual
checkpassword test works fine on the console, just apparently not from a
client.  Any ideas anyone?
