Pardon the questions, but the above return is interesting...

Is this a complete entry for this person?  The reason I ask is that it
shows two different cn values, one consisting of initials, and one of a
base64 representation of a (presumably) binary value.  That's odd.

Are the ou values consistent across the organization?  That is, does
everyone have ou=ASC, ou=ASCDOM?  Also, strange as this may sound, are
other objects besides people being stored in the directory (ie, like
equipment, groups, etc.).  If so, then expanding the basedn may help weed
out the stuff you don't want.

                                               ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

What happens when this is 'ou=ASCDOM,dc=aidssc,dc=org' ?  I know this may
be too restrictive, but just for testing purposes...
