💖 ldapmodifymachine(1) 💖

okay bestie, this is a General Commands Manual page and it's about ldapmodifymachine — she's a real one, she edits POSIX machine accounts in LDAP and she does it interactively, which is the cute part. no cap. 🎀

✨ NAME ✨

ldapmodifymachine — modifies a POSIX machine account in LDAP, interactively 💅

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

ldapmodifymachine <machinenamewithending$|uid>

like. that's it. that's the whole invocation. slay.

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

so here's the vibe. ldapmodifymachine goes hunting for the right entry to modify first. once she's found it, she presents that entry to you and then prompts you to type in LDIF data to modify it — literally the same way you'd do it with a standard LDIF file and ldapmodify(1). same energy, different entrance. 🔥

and here's the part that's lowkey iconic: the DN of the entry being modified is already specified for you. so don't even worry about it. just start typing with a changeType attribute, or literally any other attribute(s) you want — your choice, main character behavior. and if you don't specify one? the default changeType is modify. periodt. 👑

💜 OPTIONS 💜

  • <machinename with ending $ | uid> — the name or the uid of the machine you wanna modify. give her the machine name with the $ on the end or the uid, either one, she'll figure it out. 🫶
