Re: Antwort: MAC OS X clients and OpenLDAP [Virus checked]

To truly know that what ever changes you have made to your LDAP data
are in effect.   You should go into the "netinfo" manager and clear your MCX
cache entries then reboot.  OS X will look to these cache settings in it's local netinfo database
first before going out to the LDAP server.   The MCX cache contains information on known computer list, computers, groups, and users.

Here is some info on Mac OS X client access.
