In Directory Server 6.0 the functionality of most command-line tools is replaced by only two commands: dsadm and dsconf.
The following table shows commands used in Directory Server 5, and the corresponding commands for Directory Server 6.0. The default path of these commands when installed from native packages is /opt/SUNWdsee/ds6/bin. When installed from the zip installation, the default path is install-path/ds6/bin.
