Hi David and Rocio,

David:
well, I know that I can perform search and count them. I hoped that 
there is some shell command implemented in FDS that could provide this 
number. I administer commercial LDAP solution that provides such 
command. In my case this commercial solution charges per directory entry 
so I always have to know entry count. I was hoping FDC has some kind of 
equivalent command.

Rocio:
Thank you for your effort!


Thanks!
