Shelldap

A handy shell-like interface for browsing LDAP servers and editing their content. It keeps command history, has sane autocompletes, credential caching, site-wide and individual configs, and it's fun to say. Shelldap! Shelldap! Shelldap!

Witness!

% shelldap 
~ > [ tab ]

cat     clear   cp      delete  env     grep    id      ls      move    passwd  read    search  touch   whoami  
cd      copy    create  edit    exit    help    list    mkdir   mv      pwd     rm      setenv  vi
