Ok that worked, but I caught an exception of "Error:". Which is odd....

My code doesn't work though...

you specify mono AD Write.exe
ldap://localhost/cn=Manager,ou=People,o=Alexandria description hello

basically the object you want to modify, the attribute to modify and
what to modify it too. The binding and password is in the code

It spits out the entry, changes it in the code, but does not commit.
For the sake of it I set my ACL in slapd.conf to access to * by * write
and it doesn't change anything.

It executes properly and everything... and the code is right off of MSDN
(go figure).

I'm going to try to update mono as well... (if Mandrake has a new
version), I'll get back to you on the status after I do that.
