I wasn't thinking so much about the data itself as I was thinking about
log levels, ACL's, replication, certificates, slapcat*, slapadd*
ldapadd* (*these might be openldap things), slapdb_recover which to me
sounds like what you had in mind.

Yes, LDAP Users and Groups is wonderful and you know that I use it as
best I can.

Indeed to maneuver data, phpldapadmin & GQ pretty much have the concepts
down.
