Jim:

Thanks, but that comes up with zilch.  The only thing in my rt.log are 
lines like this:

[error]: FAILED LOGIN for barnes from 160.36.xxx.xxx 
(/var/rt/html/autohandler:191)

Users created in the rt internal system can login.  When I try to login 
as one of the ldap users, I get a line like the above.  Sounds to me 
like it's not even trying ldap.
