Re: enumeratin all ldap objects in a LDAP ?

[Adrian Overbury <adrian@inomial.com>]

Well, I don't know necessarily what the *best* way is, but I can tell 
you what the simplest way in.  As root on whatever server the openLDAP 
database is on, run this command:

slapcat | grep "^dn: " | wc -l

That will dump the entire ldap database, grab every "dn: ..." line, 
which every object will have exactly one of, and run it through wc (the 
word-counter) and tell it to count the number of lines.

Regards,

Adrian
