> Have you copied something wrong? Yup, I did: $ sudo tdbdump /usr/local/private/secrets.tdb { key(45) = "SECRETS/LDAP_BIND_PW/dc=vpn,dc=a3dauto,dc=com" data(7) = "mypass\00" } { key(58) = "SECRETS/LDAP_BIND_PW/uid=diradmin,dc=vpn,dc=a3dauto,dc=com" data(7) = "mypass\00" } Both entries are there in varying attempts to make things work.
