Sorry for the noise - I would've started on the mailing list, but I was given erroneous advise on howto achive a goal - and after reading the relevant rfc - thought it might indeed do what I wanted. It looks like to do what I want, I need in DIT referrals :( > So, try ldapsearch -a always uid=wilfinge. Well, that, of course, works fine - but misses what I need entirely I have an extant DIT holding Unix/Samba/Kerberos user information, and have a need to provide a few accounts with an 'alias' - due to these users having used differing account names on other systems. I want both 'wilfing' and 'wilfinge' to windup providing the account data for the 'wilfinge' entry. -- Richard A Nelson (Rick) cowboy@((linux.)?vnet|us).ibm.com Phone: 1-408-463-5584 Fax: 1-408-463-3873 COBOL Development IBM Silicon Valley Laboratory http://www.ibm.com/software/awdtools/cobol/
