I have not looked closely into it - so it might not be necessary to use entryrdn. I thought it might be more efficient to use it. If you just use id2entry, you have to keep scanning it over and over, and starting over every time you need to read the next entry. Maybe not though, maybe you can just "search" it and not have to scan it sequentially when trying to find parents and entries. I'll leave that up to you to find out ;-) > > I mean the same information can be found in id2entry (?).
