I would definitely suggest that you'll want to use the native LDAP
bits, not the PADL stuff.

So you're specifying a profileName here.  Have you created a profile
object in your directory with the name "default"?  The "init" mode of
ldapclient uses a profile object in the directory for configuration.

If you don't have or don't want to have a profile object, you could
try using "ldapclient manual" rather than "ldapclient init".  I
believe the manual mode of ldapclient is described in the man page for
the tool.  There are also documents out on the Internet for
configuring the Solaris 10 (or 11) Native LDAP Naming Service client
which are mostly, if not entirely, applicable to the bits on
OpenIndiana.


Cheers.
