I just discovered shelldap through my trusty dselect.. (I know, I am old and lazy and not in touch with the times, I really should be using apt-cache, but wth!). Anyhoo... shelldap is a pseudo shell on top of a LDAP DIT. You can cd to the different branches, grep within them for entries and edit individual entries in an LDIF format with your favorite editor!
Other tools like phpldapadmin, ldapsearch have their uses, but this is the most usable ldap browsing, editing tool I found so far. Figured someone else out there might find a use for it.. Thanks Mahlon E. Smith for shelldap!
