Re: gpilot sync works with local contacts, but not with LDAP contacts (Evolution 2.6.1)

Now we're talking!  The output told me exactly what's wrong - but I
still don't know how to solve it.

First of all, the process runs with the following arguments

/usr/bin/gpilotd --oaf-activate-iid=OAFIID:GNOME_Pilot_Daemon
--oaf-ior-fd=66

Somehow I didn't find any info on the command line switches :-( - I
appended the full output from the process to the mail, and here are the
relevant pieces:

michael aachen:~$ /usr/bin/gpilotd
--oaf-activate-iid=OAFIID:GNOME_Pilot_Daemon --oaf-ior-fd=64

eaddrconduit-Message: pre_sync: Addressbook Conduit v.0.1.2

So I guess the problem is obvious now!

The funny thing is that I configured the LDAP server to allow anonymous
read and write without authentication (and I tested it).

Distribution is Ubuntu 6.06 Dapper.  The gpilot version info is in the
log above.

Well, I think that won't be necessary, now that we managed to identify
the problem.  But what can I do about it???  Any suggestions?

Thanks again for your help!

Michael
