It seems to be back again...

I agree. I'm currently looking in ldapconf from
http://terminator.net/ldapconf/

about tools and scripts, you can find nss_ldap in cooker, and the
current 
openldap RPM come with the Migration Tools.
The difficult point is to set up a "default" configuration for all these 
components. Ldap can be used in many ways, and the current option is to
not
activate too many of them : it's more easy for an admin to add options
in
ldap.conf than to remove them...

I know a few tools to maintain ldap data (gq using gtk, kldap / KDE,
some 
html tools), but not always reliable.


thanks for your advice
