Hello,

I have to deleted abount 500 Entrys under a OU in my LDAP-Tree cause I have to change the objectClass from "account" to "inetorgPerson". Can I do this with ldapdelete? I always used that tool only to delete one entry.

Yes. But you have to provide a file with a list of the DNs of the entries to be deleted.

$ ldapdelete -h usage: ldapdelete [options] [dn]... dn: list of DNs to delete. If not given, it will be readed from stdin or from the file specified with "-f file".

(You could also use some of the GUI LDAP clients for that. E.g. my web2ldap supports recursive deletion of all entries below an entry.)
