ERROR -1497 DDSInit failed.

[candaced]

I am attempting to run

ndsconfig new def -s ServerName -t mytree -n o=org -a "admin.pipsc"

and I get the above error

ERROR -1497 DDSInit failed.

eDirectory 8.8 on a suse 10 Enterprise server

I have gone through the prerequisistes and I think I have everything.

I'm not using SLP so I created a hosts.nds
I didn't install nici, I don't currently use it on any of our NetWare
servers.

Thanks for the insight
