Ah.  Yes, I went for auth_bind=yes because I prefer not to give 
privilleged access to anything where I can avoid it.

For the moment (so I could get some sleep) I'm now using "bsdauth" with 
login_ldap on OpenBSD, which doesn't fail but does put a lot more load on 
the LDAP infrastructure.

I'll try out rc18 when it's ready.

Thanks,

Adrian.
