I've installed slapd and it's running: [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~/SMOKE/2.1/subsys/ioapi$ ps -elf|grep slap 1 S openldap 2457 1 0 78 0 - 3650 stext 16:32 ? 00:00:00 /usr/sbin/slapd -g openldap -u openldap and if create a new LDAP address book with my domainname as server & login anonmously then I still can't seem to add to said address book thanks for your patience M -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
