Default ldap problems

I'm not sure what causes the "unable to write random state" error, but I suspect it to be /opt/zimbra permissions. I know for a fact, however, that it doesn't cause problems.

Here's what's happening during your install. You set the ldap host to the IP address, which is correct - but I forgot one impt. thing. When doing an install, if hostname != ldap host (string comparison) I assume that the ldap host is remote, and already running, and attempt to contact it.

Two possible workarounds - get your hostname into DNS, and set ldap host to the hostname (this is preferable).

The other workaround is to set your hostname to the IP address, so it matches the ldap host entry. This will require then setting the domain, accounts, etc to create to be the correct domain, since the installer will set them to be account@ip_address.
