Hi List, Thanks for the assistance.
The resolution for this was simple, their was another occurrence of slapd running, (not sure how or why, too much has changed since then) It was caching old info and causing lots of trouble. I removed it, removed my old db's, rewrote a simple slapd.conf, (thanks to the rich FAQ's on openldap.org) and recreated my ldif's. This solved my troubles and explained some of the very weird errors i was getting. -jereme -- +--------------------------------------------------------------+ Jereme Corrado <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Network Administrator Restorative Management Corp.
