Probably.  It’s k-1student data so always a sensitive topic.  I’ll work on getting approval.  

Our student records are ~70 or so attributes, many of them custom so I wouldn’t expect the list to troubleshoot problems with our schema/data.  I was able to resolve several "violates attribute syntax” errors but adding the entries with ldapmodify which showed where the problem was—so far either empty attributes or data that doesn’t match the RFC.

I can, of course, work through it attribute by attribute but I’m surprised have to do that when usually the server logs the problem verbosely.

thanks,

Below are examples.  Is there a way to get more debugging out of ldif2db that I am missing?  Perhaps an error log level I’m missing?  Has anyone else seen this behavior?
