True, ldapdelete -r is a bit of an aberration in that regard. > You can easily obtain what you're asking for by using > > ldapsearch <search options> | grep ^dn: | ldapdelete <delete options> No. Must also join continuation lines first, check for non-success result from search, and sort the DNs so children precede parents. Excellent example of how quickly LDAP shell scripting become more cumbersome than using a proper LDAP API:-) Come to think of it, an ldapdelete option to reverse-sort the DNs by number of RDNs would be useful. This would satisfy child-before-parent. -- Hallvard
