modifying problem

[Anil Jangity]

Okay, I was just introduced to "multi-valued RDN", didn't know about that.

So, here's a quick question. Is there a easy way/code to modify these
kinds of RDN? Its a little bit of extra work to have to go figure out
that a RDN is being changed and then go use modrdn.

Thanks,
Anil
