Hi,

I would like to use LDAP to manage users printer quota.

Printers can be located on several servers, so I need a way to update
the information without ceating deadlocks/overwrites.

Is there a way for LDAP to do atomic action ? That is increase the
value of one reccord by a certain amount, without reading the reccord
in a variable, increasing the variable and writting the result back?

Bests,

Olivier
