I thought that might be a man page and turns out it was...for a C 
function. I need a command line tool to delete them and I tried 
ldapdelete but it wouldn't work. I have dc=mydomain,dc=com with nothing 
else in the tree and I kept getting the error that I couldn't delete a 
non-leaf.  So I did a 'make install' and put everything back. Nothing is 
in the directory now but if i use my program or even ldapadd to re-add 
the dc=com entry I get 'no global superior knowledge'.  Obviously 
something is wrong somewhere. Can anyone tell me where I need to clean 
things up?

thanks
