No - that's not my way to deal with problems. Fix the airplane so it work as reliable as a horse but it's faster in addition. There is an bug id (http://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=86405) for solving that problem. For the time being you have to use a dedicate application to add stuff to your LDAP tree. I prefer the Java based "LDAP Browser/Editor" version 2.8.2 written by Jarek Gawor (http://www-unix.mcs.anl.gov/~gawor/ldap/ ) Cheers Roland
