Richard, thanks a lot! At least for what concerns ou and static group export, I've found out a solution ... i'ts true that talking with other people about these problems helps in finding solutions! I must confess that I've never thought about using a ldapsearch ... thanks again! For the other problem, I still don't understand why, working with static group, ldapmodify doesn't act in continuous mode ... but having solved the other problem, I can set up a script that extracts both ou and static group and (in some way ... I must still think about) counts uids and if their numbers are different send me an alert by mail.

You cannot use db2ldif on a subtree. Suggestions: * use db2ldif but write a script ( e.g. python-ldap, Net::LDAP) to operate only on those entries you want * use ldapsearch -s sub -b "ou=myOU, dc=myDomain, dc=it" instead of db2ldif > > -- > Fedora-directory-users mailing list > <a href="mailto:Fedora-directory-users@redhat.com">Fedora-directory-users@redhat.com</a> > <a href="https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-directory-users">https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-directory-users </a> > -- Fedora-directory-users mailing list <a href="mailto:Fedora-directory-users@redhat.com">Fedora-directory-users@redhat.com</a> <a href="https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-directory-users"> https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-directory-users</a> </blockquote></div> -- Procurade e moderare, Barones, sa tirannia, Chi si no, pro vida mia, Torrades a pe' in terra!
