Re: Problems with ldapmodrdn command.

[David Young <dyoung@NetToNetTech.com>]

You are passing two DNs as arguments, rather than a DN and an RDN.

>From the ldapmodrdn man page:

DESCRIPTION
       ldapmodrdn   is     a   shell-accessible  interface  to  the
       ldap_modrdn2(3) library call.
       
       ldapmodrdn opens a connection to an  LDAP  server,  binds,
       and modifies the RDN of entries.  The entry information is
       read from standard input, from file through the use of the
       -f option, or from the command-line pair dn and rdn

[...]

EXAMPLE
       Assuming that the file /tmp/entrymods exists and  has  the
       contents:

       cn=Modify Me, dc=example, dc=com
       cn=The New Me

[...]
