Re: newbie still: ldapdelete: why won't it.

Sorry guys I just don't get any of it, tried so many ways don't know 
where I am or what, a post of the full line to delete the entry would be 
the most helpful way forward, then I can see what is going on.

This is what I put together and it does not work.

ldapdelete -x -w Fl0Cabs
-D cn=admin,dc=shadshed,dc=com
"uid=jdw,ou=People,dc=shadshed,dc=com"

(all on 1 line I just split it up for post)


# jdw, People, shadshed.com
dn: uid=jdw,ou=People,dc=shadshed,dc=com
uid: jdw

jdw@thoth:~$ ldapdelete -x -w Fl0Cabs -D cn=admin,dc=shadshed,dc=com 
"uid=jdw,ou=People,dc=shadshed,dc=com"

Delete Result: Internal (implementation specific) error (80)
Additional info: could not locate parent of entry
