A question about entry and children pseudo-attributes

[Thierry Lacoste <lacoste@miage.univ-paris12.fr>]

Hello,

According to SLAPD.ACCESS(5) the access needed to the
'entry' pseudo-attribute always correspond to the access
needed on the 'children' pseudo-attribute of the entry's parent.
The only exception is the search operation.

So what is the purpose of children?
Are there examples of ACLs where the two pseudo-attributes
are treated differently.

Regards,
Thierry
