The follow error appears in a ldap tracd when this issue
happens:

Listener applying new configuration

Configure LDAP referrals with NDS failure count = 1
TCP/IP is not configured correctly on this host
If you type "hostname" on the server command prompt you will
see a different hostname or fqdn than in the /etc/hosts
#hostname
#perceus.olimpo.com
#cat /etc/hosts
#10.10.10.10 perceus.atenas.olimpo.com perceus
Resolution
You must have the server's correct hostname configured
in /etc/hosts. Edit the file /etc/hosts or change your
host name with the command "hostname your-hostname" to fix the
issue.
