Hmmm, that is a really interesting problem. I could not find any solution to it either.
<rant>
from the man page
-d debuglevel
Set the LDAP debugging level to debuglevel. ldapsearch must be compiled with LDAP_DEBUG defined for this option to have any effect.
that is just bloody useless, why do I have to google to find a sun man page that contains the actual possible debug levels. Why is it not part of the man page in Red Hat / CentOS ?!!?!?!?!
Lets get rid of man pages save some disk space and find everything with google, who reads man pages anyway.
