Yup, I know. I was just testing all kinds of combinations just to force 
some kind of solution :)

I see the module inside the source package, but it never gets put

I'll try as soon as the filter module is in place 8-)

The query itself was against a M$ CraptiveDirectory server. I found 
myself unable to force a record like that into OpenLDAP... hehe
