Hi all,
How would you run an external script automatically after an LDAP
change (add/remove a user)?
I've checked around and can't seem to find a solution that I can
understand.

System, configurations, what kind of scripts, how do you add users
(manually, client..)...
Be more specific, that's not a magic list and who read it are not magicians.

My specifics;
I add users either through Drupal using ldap_provisioning module or
simple ldap_add commands.
The external script can be anything from simply touching a file, to
emailing, to more complex Perl or Python scripts.
I prefer not to chain commands to either ldap_add command or the
ldap_provisioning module and would prefer to only kick off my external
script upon users being added/removed or even something as a simple
change to the LDAP db.

OpenLDAP has hooks for this in the form of replication. The
replication protocol, syncrepl, is specified in the RFC 4533.
The idea here is that a client that understands these extensions can
just connect as if it were a replica and receive a live feed of
changes (refreshAndPersist mode). There has been some work done
towards including this in the c ldap client api, but I'm not aware of
any scripting language bindings that include this yet.

Sorry, I mean ldapadd and not ldap_add.
