[Fedora-directory-users] Failed attempts & Locked accounts ... unlock ?

Those attributes dont show up using ldapsearch and ldapmodify throws an
error:

$ ldapmodify -D -x -w $password "cn=Directory Manager"
uid=$user,ou=People,dc=blah,dc=com changetype: modify delete:
passwordRetryCount - changetype: modify delete: accountUnlockTime

produces:
ldapmodify: No match.

Running ldapsearch shows the user info, but nothing about that specific
field.

Admittedly I am a bit new to this, I had seen the FAQ/wiki, but since it
didnt work I figured I would ask. Perhaps the wiki it out of date ? Or is my
syntax wrong ?

Regards.
