slapadd seemed to work with my entrymods files.
THe slapadd command is for the output from the slapcat command. Exporting and importing should ensure that your database is at least consistent.
I was not suggesting to use slapadd to make modifications to the database (after import).
I understood what you are suggesting, and when I have time to take down LDAP for an extended period of time, I will use the slapcat LDIF to import.
I didn't know that slapadd didn't pay attention to a lot of the things that ldapadd does. When doing an ldapsearch now, I see the user.
Maybe you should read the man pages for the commands before you use them, so you are at least aware of what they do.
Yeah, I ended up reading it after receving your message yesterday so I was sure I knew how it worked and what it did.
However, doing a getent passwd does not show the user as it used to, but this could be an issue needing a Samba restart.
No, samba doesn't need a restart, but if you are using nscd, it may need a restart (or an 'nscd -i passwd;nscd -i group', or both).
Thanks for that. Much appreciated.
