I do a slapcat everyday, but I could not import it! It was continually giving 
me errors about this or that already there, then something else was missing. 
I don't recall now. I have a ldif backup of the proper order things need to 
be re-created in and that works fine. I rarely change any information in the 
ldap so I just maintain the one backup. When I add a user I will create 
another ldif. I used phpldapadmin to create the ldif I can actually use to 
restore. Unless I'm doing the slapcat wrong. Though I did realize today I was 
running ldapadd instead of slapadd. But I don't really care to go back now 
and see if that makes any difference.... I appreciate all your help.
