using the command above I have
ldap_bind: Invalid credentials (49)
the exact command I am using is

$ldapsearch -h "LDAPserverIPaddress" -d 9 -D "cn=khould,o=UTS" -x -W -b 
"o=UTS" objectclass=*

if i do not add the IP address I get the message " ldap_bind: can't 
connect to LDAP server (-1)"

I know my linux box is searching for the server,
the above command indicates that I am connected

tcpdump -Aevv host "ipaddress" gives me lots of connections info...

slapd.conf I have not modified this file at all

ldap.conf I have modified through the GUI "YaST" and appropriate DN 
baseDN and admin details are entered

and nsswitch.conf I have modified to change from
passwd: ldap
group: ldap
shadow: ldap
to
passwd: files ldap
group: files ldap
shadow: files ldap

not too sure if that makes a difference

I know ldap is working, my e-mails search ldap for users is ok, and I am 
getting connected messages with the above command.
