As far as I can see, with 2.1.8, it's simply a newline. If I enter my
address into GQ and save it, then my slapcat -l ldif gets a base64
entry.

If I then do 'echo -en TXVnZ2VubGFhbiAzCjI0NDEgQ0wgTmlldXd2ZWVu |
mimencode -u', it simply outputs a newline.

My 1.0.8-99 Evo doesn't like homeaddress one little bit and will neither
show or change it. I had to radically change evoperson.schema somewhere
around Openldap 2.1.6/8 and perhaps it was that.

I'm gradually downloading Evo 1.2 in bits and pieces (modem), and
perhaps that will be better, see tomorrow.

Best,

Tony
