What happens if you specify the uid attribute to be returned? Is this
specified in X.500? If so, where?

e.g. what happens if you do
ldapsearch "(!(uid=quanah))" uid
? Does it return only those entries that have a uid attribute? Does
OpenLDAP omit entries from the search results that match the search
filter but do not contain the attribute listed in the attribute list in
the search request?
