[Netatalk-admins] Setting up LDAP in Netatalk

[Arthur P. <pe...@gm...>]

This is my first time experience, and I'm having problems setting up LDAP
with Netatalk, I can't tell why, or even how to find out why.

This is all I have in my logs for now.

I would appreciate some advice on how to properly setup LDAP.
