On FDS I'd prefer to search for (hasSubordinates=TRUE) and sum up the
values of the numSubordinates attribute in the entries found.

Other LDAP server implementations have other operational attributes with
different semantics:

Siemens DirX: numAllSubordinates

Critical Path Directory Server: countImmSubordinates, countTotSubordinates

MS Active Directory: msDS-Approx-Immed-Subordinates

My web2ldap uses all these besides 'hasSubordinates' to determine
whether an entry found is leaf entry or not and display the number of
subordinate entries in the link popup help.

Ciao, Michael.
