Hi Malcolm,

The output from rt-ldapimport is normal if no changes are required, as
I've just tried it here in my lab and it is working.

Incidentally LDAPImport doesn't currently support TLS, I've written a 
patch which
you are welcome to have if you would like it. I'm afraid I haven't 
submitted it to BP
yet, but intend too when I get some time.

Best Regards

Martin
