Delete contents of LDAP Database

["Clemson, Chris \(IHG\)" <Chris.Clemson@ihg.com>]

Hello all,
At last I am managing to import everything successfully to OpenLDAP.
Hoever, on a regular (possibly daily) basis I need to reimport
everything, and make sure that old entries are not lingering.
At the moment, to do this I am stopping OpenLDAP, deleting the database
files, starting it again, and reimporting everything.
I seem to be having problems with some connections lingering when the
server is stopped, and it takes a while for these to time out.
Is there any way I can delete the contents of the database without
needing to know what is in there, using openldap commands, and without
stopping and starting OpenLDAP?
Thank you,

Chris
