    First off thanks for the rely.

        Now for a couple more questions.

        By subtree search, you mean that you do a search for all objetcs
of a objectclass  (i.e. cn=*)
and then increase the search filter via "and"s (i.e. "(and cn=<one of
the attr. found> sn=*)" <-- might have the syntax
wrong, but I can fix it)?
        Using "ldapsearch", I noted that size limits stop many of my
searchs.  I believe that LDAP v3 contains a paging mechanism, so I take
it
that "ldapsearch" does not use the paging mechanism?
