What happens if you specify the uid attribute to be returned?  Is this 
specified in X.500?  If so, where?

e.g. what happens if you do
ldapsearch "(!(uid=quanah))" uid
?  Does it return only those entries that have a uid attribute?  Does 
OpenLDAP omit entries from the search results that match the search 
filter but do not contain the attribute listed in the attribute list in 
the search request?
