cool - it does work. It is a read client - sort of like a gopher interface.
LDAP is probably the most obtuse service that I have worked with to date. It
absolutely defies comprehension. I am looking at all the GUI tools that I can
possibly use to ease the process so I wanted to check out kldap but as you say,
it seems to be stagnant.
I gather that everyone just kind of rolls their own here.
I don't see the need to go to such efforts since I can add records by command
line but anything that simplifies the process is of interest.
Thanks,
Craig
