Rich,

Tbird logging into FDS? What does that mean?


I have a LDAP server setup in my Tbird Address Book. To test the connection,
in Tbird addr book I choose the ''Offline'' tab then
''Download Now''. It asks
me for a username and password - I enter them and at that point I''m
back
where I began in Tbird. I check the log files in FDS (access) and there are
a number of entries - all those beginning with "RESULT" have
"err=0".
Therefore, I conclude that I am logging into FDS without error.

 >From what system? From OpenLDAP?


>From FDS.

Can you tell me how to reproduce this error?


Choose the ''Export'' option on the ''Tasks''
tab. Any permutation that I tried
resulted in the same error (userroot).

Uhh... Tbird/Mozilla Mail has been around for a number of years and
certainly can''t be called "new". I don''t know about
other vendors; this is
the first Directory Server I have evaluated (although the Sun salesperson I
spoke to told me they support Tbird - how I don''t know - we''ll
find out next
week).
