Attribute namingContexts in RootDSE should help. There's also an 
attribute defaultNamingContext. Access control restriction could 
be in place and off course these attributes should be queried by 
name just like with OpenLDAP 2.x.

Can you elaborate on that? Tweak which code?

Can you elaborate on that too? As long as you don't try to handle 
Novell/NDS specific attributes it's very easy to query Novell 
eDirectory. BTW: One can have a look at ldap://www.nldap.com, 
their public demo server. You can even register to get your own 
container with write acess (http://www.nldap.com).

Ciao, Michael.
