Hi Bob,
 I just looked at it and it is not really suitable for my needs. I want
a tool, like getent (in C or perl), that will allow me to type:

getent passwd

 and it will list every user account that it can find. Or every entry in
whatever database is specified.

 Well, I have a perl script that perfectly duplicates the GNU gentent
binary so I don't need to ask any further. It would be nice to include
this with the LDAP-UX product. I am waiting on a reply from the author
wrt the licensing of his script.

 It seems that the LDAP-UX product does as well, or maybe some person
has just placed this file here :-)

This is perl, version 5.005_02 built for PA-RISC1.1

 I'm really not sure, since I didn't install the depot or looked further
into it.

BR,
