I've tried a few. Those are my (condensed) opinions after some usage of each 
tool:

gq <http://biot.com/gq/> It's just OK. 

Directory Administrator <http://diradmin.open-it.org/index.php>, I don't like 
it at all

KDirAdmin <http://www.carillonis.com/kdiradm/>. it's unsafe! plain-text 
passwords! argh!!!

LDAP Browser/Editor, <http://www-unix.mcs.anl.gov/~gawor/ldap/download.html> , 
I like it a lot. They say that is for educational purposes only, although 
there's no link to buy it, opensource it or anything :/

LDAPExplorerTool, BSD-license <http://ldaptool.sourceforge.net/>. Looks 
interestng. I need more time to try it out.


What do you'all use for LDAP duties?


Salut,
