The ldapdelete command prints its error message to standard out.  However, the
manpage states, "Exit status is 0 if no errors occur.  Errors result in a
non-zero exit status and a diagnostic message being written to standard error."

1.  Try to delete an LDAP object that does not exist; execute a command like:
ldapdelete -x -D cn=Manager,dc=flyn,dc=org -W  "cn=Domain
Users,ou=Group,dc=flyn,dc=org" 2> /dev/null

2.  Execute "echo $?" to confirm exit status is non-zero.

3.  Notice that ldapdelete printed error to standard out.  The following was
printed:
Delete Result: No such object (32)
Matched DN: ou=group,dc=flyn,dc=org

The exit status was non-zero.  According to the manpage the error message
should
go to standard error.
