P.S. OpenLDAP is using Berkeley DB as a default, I think (my OpenLDAP under Zimbra does).
Berkeley DB is the default backend. However, OpenLDAP still has to support a hierarchical database somehow. This implies that there isn't a simple one to one mapping between keys and values to get from LDAP to Berkeley DB.
I don't know how it structures the LDAP data but I doubt that you can create the same UID twice (BDB is a simple key=value database, so it should baulk at the same key).
s/UID/uidNumber/ I don't think there is anything in the LDAP standards that prevent duplicate uidNumbers, unless uidNumber is an RDN. Will test this out tomorrow. -- Brian May <brian@microcomaustralia.com.au>
