The query string will be the same, since the client is the same client, MSOE. unless you think there is something really afoot, I think that will be a waste of energy to look at.

Was the data migrated from the old server? If so, how. It was not. the old server was a Debian Woody, with the users as regular unix users and the LDIF updated by an improvised script (that I didn't write) on each change of user or external address and the database reinitialized each time. Now we are using SME server, which still doesn't use LDAP for the directory services or even authentication, but is managed by e-smith's own scripts via a web interface. we decided to do away with the old spaghetti and recreated the 50 users from scratch, because the amount of aliases, defunct users and other cruft was too much. > 2.

Are the schema files the same? yup, the default ones that come with the software. -- Mail-order husband Ira Abramov http://ira.abramov.org/email/ ================================================================= To unsubscribe, send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the word "unsubscribe" in the message body, e.g., run the command echo unsubscribe | mail [EMAIL PROTECTED]
