Hi,

Do you know which persons are responsible for OpenLDAP in Ubuntu ?  
Then we can
start to coordinate this update. I would idd love to have cn=config in  
place.

I've done a standard upgrade from Etch and that seems to go fine. I'll  
check it later on
with a directory with around 12.000 entries.

Regards,

Matthijs Mohlmann
