I know what you mean. I was going nuts with one client (who thought
he knew LDAP just because he had done a prototype setup on a Mac OS X
server) because he was mucking around with the DIT (on the Mac
platform). That is when I switched him to openLDAP and smbldaptools
on Linux and reclaimed my sanity :)
Another tool that I forgot to mention is LDAP Account Manager (lam);
there is an open source as well a commercial support version. It is
web based; ideal for the CLI phobic admins. You can delegate
authority to non technical staff like HR for disabling users and
groups ...
