The error message trac is giving is:

[Thu Sep 24 05:25:02 2009] [warn] [client 212.65.243.107] [4784] auth_ldap authenticate: user ondrejn authentication failed; URI /mapguide/login [ldap_simple_bind_s() to check user credentials failed][Invalid credentials], referer: http://trac.osgeo.org/mapguide/ticket/1094

This error message is happening more frequently in the past two days, it 
appears.

Perhaps this means the ldap server should be restarted. I've gone ahead
and done that, in case the ldap server was causing the problem.

Can you let me know if this seems to improve the behavior any?

(I'll note that the only usernames I'm seeing this for are assefa, sbarnes,
and klokan -- not pspencer/pagameba...)
