<p>Since the
<a href="http://lists.debian.org/debian-announce/debian-announce-2003/msg00001.html">compromise</a>,
the information available to non-developers via the LDAP interface has been
limited a great deal. However, as always, the full database is accessible from
any .debian.org machine. If you wish relatively unfettered access to the LDAP
-database, connect to it from a .debian.org machine, such as gluck.debian.org
+database, connect to it from a .debian.org machine, such as ravel.debian.org
(which is recommended for general shell usage anyhow).
</p>
<strong>-H</strong> and <strong>-b</strong> options can be put in
one's ~/.ldaprc, in the following form:
</p><pre>
-[ dbharris@gluck: ~/ ]$ cat ~/.ldaprc
+[ dbharris@ravel: ~/ ]$ cat ~/.ldaprc
HOST db.debian.org
BASE dc=debian,dc=org
</pre>
<strong>-x</strong>. With these parameters specified, we're ready to begin
searching. Here's an example:
</p><pre>
-[ dbharris@gluck: ~/ ]$ ldapsearch -x uid=dbharris keyfingerprint
+[ dbharris@ravel: ~/ ]$ ldapsearch -x uid=dbharris keyfingerprint
<snip>
# dbharris, users, debian, org
dn: uid=dbharris,ou=users,dc=debian,dc=org
return, all readable attributes are returned. While the example was quite
simple, complex queries can be performed as well:
</p><pre>
-[ dbharris@gluck: ~/ ]$ ldapsearch -x -H ldap://db.debian.org -b dc=debian,dc=org '(&(!(loginshell=/bin/bash))(uid=*))' loginshell
+[ dbharris@ravel: ~/ ]$ ldapsearch -x -H ldap://db.debian.org -b dc=debian,dc=org '(&(!(loginshell=/bin/bash))(uid=*))' loginshell
</pre>
