I was wondering if anyone is success fully running openldap from the debian
packages with Courier IMAP's LDAP module for authentication.
I am getting strange timeouts on a remote client which is preventing successful
authentication.
I have tested logins with both Netscape and Mulberry.
Mulberry gives me a timeout on successful authentication. It gives me
an authentication error with the wrong password.
Same with Netscape.
I don't know how to get around this.

[IMAP server]---auth[LDAP Server]
I am using the woody packages for Courier IMAP and Open-LDAP.
ii courier-authda 0.37.3-1 Courier Mail Server authentication
ii courier-base 0.37.3-1 Courier Mail Server Base System
ii courier-debug 0.37.3-1 Debugging Tools for Courier Mail
ii courier-doc0.37.3-1 Documentation for the Courier Mail
ii courier-imap 1.4.3-1IMAP daemon with PAM and Maildir
ii courier-ldap 0.37.3-1 LDAP support for Courier Mail Server
ii maildrop 1.3.7-2mail delivery agent with filtering
The courier debugger on the server tells me that everything is working fine.
It gets all the data it should.

I noticed something in the authldaprc file about openldap having
memory leaks. Does anyone have any info on this ?
