If you really want to remove this group, and reuse the username, you could just create a file called "remove_nigel" with these two lines: dn: cn=nigelb,ou=Group,dc=skole,dc=skolelinux,dc=no changetype: delete And feed it to ldapmodify: cat remove_nigel | ldapmodify -x -ZZ -W -D cn=admin,ou=People,dc=skole,dc=skolelinux,dc=no That should work. -- Klaus Ade klaus@bzz.no 67E61D18B2C44F8A3DA35C6D849F9F5F 26FA477D
