Hmmm, that is a really interesting problem. I could not find any solution to it either.

<rant>
from the man page
-d debuglevel
              Set the LDAP debugging level to debuglevel.  ldapsearch must be compiled with LDAP_DEBUG defined for this option to have any effect.

that is just bloody useless, why do I have to google to find a sun man page that contains the actual possible debug levels. Why is it not part of the man page in Red Hat / CentOS ?!!?!?!?! 

Lets get rid of man pages save some disk space and find everything with google, who reads man pages anyway.
</rant>
