Hello,

I would like some help in order to understand entryrdn.db. When I do "dbscan -f entryrdn.db" I get something like:

3
  ID: 3; RDN: "ou=Groups"; NRDN: "ou=groups"

C3
    ID: 6; RDN: "cn=Accounting Managers"; NRDN: "cn=accounting managers"

P6
    ID: 3; RDN: "ou=Groups"; NRDN: "ou=groups"

I understand that 3 is this entry's ID, C3 means child of entry 3 and P6 means parent of entry 6.

What I don't understand however is why those entries are repeated again and again. For example " ID: 7; RDN: "cn=HR Managers"; NRDN: "cn=hr managers" is repeated about a dozen of times in my entryrdn. And I don't mean like a parent, child, or whatever. It is repeated lots of time as ID 7 for example (but also many times as C3, etc.).

I attach the complete output of what I get when I run "dbscan -f entryrdn.db", in order to demonstrate what I mean (my db contains almost default entries only).

So my question is; how is this database filled?

Thank you very much,
Ilias
