Exactly, that's pretty much the whole point of ldap. You can create any kind of branches you like, and add new nodes all over the place. That can be a bit of a problem, but it's in the management of the ldap data. We are finding that our manager(s) liked to create security groups in several different nodes. It has been a bit interesting. I second the softerra browswer, once I had that, it became much easier, then the old trial and error approach I was first using. -------------- Ian Skinner Web Programmer BloodSource www.BloodSource.org Sacramento, CA "C code.
