Not that i don't appreciate your constant help and encouragement but: 1: I followed the docs to the letter; 2: doing that nearly fscked up my already existent DIT for always; 3: I found a different way "that worked for me"; 4: I promised JHT to write up how (and more importantly why) but I didn't get that far yet. The important thing is, that whoever wrote the (3.0.7 and higher) ldapsam code made it truly versatile: it can do things in more ways than one.
