You should be able to use ldapadd or ldapdelete to do this, but it's 
far easier with something like 'gq' or ldapbrowser where you can see 
what's going on.  Especially if it's just one or two small changes 
like that.  

ldapmodify is, IMO, more suited for large, batch operations where you 
need to make a large number of changes at once.

	It may look like I'm just sitting here doing nothing,
   but I'm really actively waiting for all my problems to go away.
