Actually I meant that I am able to connect to it using python-ldap, 
using the python in my zope. So I can do a search through python-ldap, etc.

Unfortunately I am not running LDAP on the same machine. I did consider 
the fact that perhaps this was the same issue, but the machine appears 
responsive otherwise. What is interesting is that after about 10 minutes 
it _does_ come back, saying that the user/credentials are not value. So 
LDAPUserFolder does not necessarilly think it has a problem, it just 
thinks there is an authenticaiton issue. Of course I would say if it 
takes 10 minutes there is a sever problem somewhere, never mind the fact 
that the authentication should work..
