Geza, I'm really struggling with ldbsearch. The doco is almost non existent.

As you suggest, the primaryGroupID attribute I'm looking for must be in 
idmap.ldb as I can't find it using ldapsearch until _after_ I add a user 
to my posix group using dsa.msc in windows. Afterwards, I see that the 
primaryGroupID attribute has been added to the user. What i want to do 
is find out what that primaryGroupID is _before_ I run my posix script 
so I can add the attribute myself without having to do it from windows.

All I can find on ldapsearch is:
ldbsearch [-h] [-s base|one|sub] [-b basedn] [-i] [-H LDB-URL] 
[expression] [attributes]

1. Could you help me with the ldbsearch syntax to have a look inside 
idmap.ldb?
2. Which database am I consulting when I run ldapsearch?
Thanks,
Steve
