ldapsearch and return attributes, sort issue ...

["C.Lee Taylor" <leet@leenx.co.za>]

Greetings ...

	Just a quick question. If I use the command that follows in bash ...

	ldapsearch -x -LLL -W -D "cn=Manager,dc,foobar,dc=com" -S uidNumber 
"(uidNumber=*)" uidNumber

	I still get the complete list of attributes for eash entry. Is this a bug 
in ldapsearch.

	Okay, as you might have thought, this has to do with tring to get a 
unique uidNumber.  I thought that if I return all the "uidNumber"s, 
sorted and take the last one plus one, I should be pretty safe.  I know 
there might be locking issues and if somebody else tries to add a user 
at the same time, we might have a problem, but I don't think that will 
happen with my small usergroup ...

Thanks guys.
Great work.
