Re: Querying Directory entries

[Urban Lindberg <Urban.Lindberg@systech.se>]

Hi

I have also experienced that ldif2ldbm do not always
give the expected result. Maybe someone out there can
explain?????

An alternative that works for me is to use
ldamodify -a -c -f filename

This will add all entrys from an ldif file. -c means
that it will continue with next entry if one failes.
