Either put them in /usr/lib/opends/bin/ Or prefix them with opends. Or make an opends command and put just that in /usr/bin and all the real commands are in /usr/lib/opends/bin/ but appear as subcommands of opends. > etc. Should the project team propose new names for the executables? > (OpenLDAP prefixes all their executables with "oldap".) Acutally the prefix is openldap not oldap because the later can be confused as meaning "old ap" -- Darren J Moffat
