    except:
        out = -1
    return out
Executing simple_bind hangs the Zope process. I supposed that there is a 
problem with Zope security.
This is highly unlikely.
Security issues do not lead to a hanging process.

Are you sure that the LDAP server is accessible as "ldapserver".
What you describe looks like what we saw with a bad configuration
to access the LDAP server.

Is there any way to use python-ldap under zope?
We use it successfully together with LDAPUserFolder.
