Evening all,
Are OID Macros specific to slapd?

They're a feature of X.500 that was lost in the translation to LDAP. I implemented them for OpenLDAP and as far as I know they're unique to OpenLDAP. I messed with them a bit; in X.500 specs they still just use dots as separators but I found that too ambiguous for parsing, so I used colons. -- -- Howard Chu Chief Architect, Symas Corp. http://www.symas.com Director, Highland Sun http://highlandsun.com/hyc/ Chief Architect, OpenLDAP http://www.openldap.org/project/
