CommitChanges() works fine for me from mono-1.0.0 to mono-1.1.1, and I
can write to OpenLDAP (2.0 and 2.1). Are you sure there is no exception
? Maybe your binding is wrong, or you do not respect the LDAP schema...

Attached is an example code of mine that creates a user entry. You could
also send me your code so I can test it.

I use Mandrake 10.0 and Debian Sarge.
