I've gone from 2.1.3 thru 2.1.4 to 2.1.5.

Not so. From a working ldif:

dn: cn=Evy Breivik,ou=people,ou=groups,dc=billy,dc=demon,dc=nl
sn: Breivik
mail: brei billy demon nl
fileAs: Breivik, Evy
objectClass: top
objectClass: person               <- structural
objectClass: organizationalPerson <-structural
objectClass: inetOrgPerson        <- structural
objectClass: evolutionPerson      <- structural
objectClass: posixAccount 
objectClass: shadowAccount
objectClass: inetLocalMailRecipient

etc.

What you can't do, is duplicate attributes in any given objectClass.

Don't know what basis Linux you use (or is it Solaris?), but try to
compile GQ for Gnome (compiling lets you add features Red Hat rpms don't
have, such as TLS and drag 'n drop), use it extensively and you'll learn
by trial and error. Specially with a 'tail -f' on the -d 256 slapd log
output.

Not at the moment - there's no strong authentication at all possible
with 1.0.8, not even TLS-based binds (that's supposed to be available on
later versions), but wishes have been expressed before.

The trouble is, that you can count the LDAP Evo users who subscribe to
this list on the badly mangled fingers of one hand. So, welcome, Dieter,
and thanks for adding a new voice to the few.

Best,

Tony
