Re: Root Directory info

[Florence Lai <flor_lai@yahoo.com>]

Thanks
one more question:

Now, I can get the subschema infomation with
objectclasses and attributetypes, But I didn't see any
DIT infomation. 

Do you know how to get the DIT structure information?
Is the DIT structure info in the subschema?

Thanks for help
