Sorry to bother you with this , but I cannot find any documentation on this aspect of OpneLDAP. How do you set up/query a passwd database? My slapd.conf basically consists only of the "database passwd" line. I can't figure out how to get any data out of it. Will ldapsearch work with this? How do I phrase a query?
