check_ldap fails with "Could not bind to the ldap-server"

I can't imagine how. Have you actually tried this? I'd be interested in seeing a working example.

well the basis of that idea would be that it could resolve either hostname or fqdn to the proper IP and "shouldn't" have an issue. The ld_host part is simply a variable name, it's not referencing an actual structure and considering the strlen(ld_host) after, it expects to work with a simple string. So with it simply basing the idea off strings, abrist's idea should work, although I am not sure why it doesn't seem to for you.
