Hi – is there a way (dangerous though) to clear a directory and start again? I am having an issue by which I can search for an entry, but not delete it.

[root@First-Line lib]# ldapsearch -x -W -D "cn=Manager,dc=TelecityGroup,dc=com" "cn=Sabayon user"

Enter LDAP Password:

# extended LDIF

# LDAPv3

# base <> with scope subtree

# filter: cn=Sabayon user

# requesting: ALL

# sabayon, People, TelecityGroup.com

dn: uid=sabayon,ou=People,dc=TelecityGroup,dc=com

uid: sabayon

cn: Sabayon user

givenName: Sabayon

sn: user

objectClass: person

homeDirectory: /home/sabayon

gecos: Sabayon user

# search result

# numEntries: 1

[root@First-Line lib]# ldapdelete -x -D "cn=Manager,dc=TelecityGroup,dc=com" -W "cn=Sabayon user,dc=TelecityGroup,dc=com"

Enter LDAP Password:

ldap_delete: No such object (32)

matched DN: dc=TelecityGroup,dc=com

I can supply any config info that is required.

Thanks
