ldapsearch '(dn=cn=John Doe,o=Foo Co.,c=US)' ??

[Brett Lemoine <bl@incyte.com>]

OK, I give.  How does one (or is it impossible to) get entries from a
query useing ldapsearch given a 'dn'?

e.g.

	I know: 'dn=cn=John Doe,c=Foo Co.,o=US'
	I want: telephonenumber.

Obviously, I can
	ldapsearch -b "c=Foo Co.,o=US" "(cn=John Doe)" telephonenumber
But why can't I
	ldapsearch -b "c=Foo Co.,o=US" "(dn=cn=John Doe,c=Foo Co.,o=US)" \
		telephonenumber
?

Am I missing something?
