I am...  just protecting my client... ;-)

I tried running the LDAP server with the command line you recommended (-d -1), 
and it gave me some definate insight into this issue.

For some reason, when the passwd module is trying to bind to the OpenLDAP 
server, it is trying to bind with the user's full e-mail address, followed by 
the LDAP DN.  (eg.  mikeh at example.com,dc=example,dc=com instead of 
uid=mikeh,ou=People,dc=example,dc=com).

What I need to find is where in either the configuration, or in the passwd PHP 
code it is building this bind request.

Thanks for the tips so far.
