RE: Deleting a DN with leading Space Character

["Garry Thomas" <gthomas@netstarnetworks.com>]

Dave,
	I managed to use GQ to delete the entry. Not even GQ showed the entry on its browse screen. I had to search for the entry
using a search request uid=*username*, and it found it. Thankfully, GQ allows you to delete from the search results.

Thanks for your help

Regards
Garry
