Re: search for a user by cn or uid

Try doing a slapcat and see if you inetorgpersons are in the resulting ldif.
It sounds like they probably didn't get created. I think you need to
explicitly include /usr/local/etc/openldap/schema/inetorgperson.schema in
your slapd.conf if you haven't checked that.
