[brlug-general] ldap question

[-ray]

Ok getting closer... you're right, it's an empty string.  Found this code 
in our mess of scripts:

/usr2/ldap/bin/sluldap_disuser.pl:      $entry->{slucmsuid} = [''];

So:

(slucmsuid='') does in fact return everyone with an slucmsuid of ''.

However, this query:

(!(slucmsuid='')) returns everyone with an slucmsuid NOT '', which is 
good, But it ALSO returns everyone that has no slucmsuid attribute on 
their account, which is bad.  Any other ideas?
