+&lt;p&gt;The last few days I have been looking into the status of the LDAP
+directory in Debian Edu, and in the process I started to miss a GUI
+tool to browse the LDAP tree.  The only one I was able to find in
+Debian/Squeeze and Lenny is
+&lt;a href=&quot;http://luma.sourceforge.net/&quot;&gt;LUMA&lt;/a&gt;, which has proved to
+be a great tool to get a overview of the current LDAP directory
+populated by default in Skolelinux.  Thanks to it, I have been able to
+find empty and obsolete subtrees, misplaced objects and duplicate
+objects.  It will be installed by default in Debian/Squeeze.  If you
+are working with LDAP, give it a go. :)&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;I did notice one problem with it I have not had time to report to
+the BTS yet.  There is no .desktop file in the package, so the tool do
+not show up in the Gnome and KDE menus, but only deep down in in the
+Debian submenu in KDE.  I hope that can be fixed before Squeeze is
+released.&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;I have not yet been able to get it to modify the tree yet.  I would
+like to move objects and remove subtrees directly in the GUI, but have
+not found a way to do that with LUMA yet.  So in the mean time, I use
+&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.lichteblau.com/ldapvi/&quot;&gt;ldapvi&lt;/a&gt; for that.&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;If you have tips on other GUI tools for LDAP that might be useful
+in Debian Edu, please contact us on debian-edu@lists.debian.org.&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;Update 2010-06-29: Ross Reedstrom tipped us about the
+&lt;a href=&quot;http://packages.qa.debian.org/g/gq.html&quot;&gt;gq&lt;/a&gt; package as a
+useful GUI alternative.  It seem like a good tool, but is unmaintained
+in Debian and got a RC bug keeping it out of Squeeze.  Unless that
+changes, it will not be an option for Debian Edu based on Squeeze.&lt;/p&gt;
