-====== Miscellaneous Commands ======
-To add someone to a group in LDAP:
-  bung@gallifrey:/$ ldapvi -D 'cn=admin,dc=tardis,dc=ed,dc=ac,dc=uk' -b 'ou=Group,dc=tardis,dc=ed,dc=ac,dc=uk' '(cn=admin)'
-(Ask me about the password. --Bung 15:05, 3 January 2006 (GMT))
-Add the new entry appropriately, e.g.
-  memberUid: bob
-Quit the editor, say 'y' to the prompt, and you've volunteered a whole new era of Tardis adminning!
-In the case of admin, you'll want to change their default group from student to assistant:
-  bung@gallifrey:/$ ldapvi -D 'cn=admin,dc=tardis,dc=ed,dc=ac,dc=uk' -b '(uid=bob)'
-And change
-  gidNumber: 1005
-to
-  gidNumber: 1001
-To search for a specific user in LDAP (this seemed to work):
-<code>
-ldapsearch -D 'cn=admin,dc=tardis,dc=ed,dc=ac,dc=uk' -b 'dc=tardis,dc=ed,dc=ac,dc=uk' -W "(uid=username)"
-</code>
-(You can also ask me for the LDAP password --Hayden (talk) 22:08, 12 October 2013 (BST))
-On some hosts (usually gateways like fez), nscd caches the shit out of LDAP, much to admin annoyance. Clear the cache as so:
-  nscd -i group
-  nscd -i passwd
-This will clear nscd's Group and Shadow databases, forcing them to be re-read from LDAP.
