Re: can't delete entries
The problem your having is that ldapdelete doesn't take the same format
file as ldapadd. The format of the file is just one DN per line:
eg
uid=user1,o=top
uid=user2,o=top
etc..
not
dn: uid=user1,o=top
dn: uid=user2,o=top
etc...
and not
dn: uid=user1,o=top
objectclass: posixAccount
uid: user1
etc
Hope this helps.
