With the default config on Gentoo, you will need to authenticate to write data, but not to read data. For example to add an entry: ldapadd -x -H "ldap://localhost"; -D "cn=Manager,dc=example,dc=com" -W Enter LDAP Password: <enter the value of rootpw from /etc/openldap/slapd.conf> dn: cn=Test User,dc=example,dc=com objectclass: person sn: User cn: Test User mail: Test [EMAIL PROTECTED] ^D adding new entry "cn=Test User,dc=example,dc=com" ^D To show the contents of the directory: ldapsearch -H "ldap://localhost"; -b "dc=example,dc=com" -- Paul
