Hmmm... under 1.x, the default format was:
$ ldapsearch -h ldap.wheaton.edu -b "o=Wheaton College,c=US" "(cn=*darrow*)" "mail"
cn=John.P.Darrow, o=Wheaton College, c=US
mail=John.P.Darrow@wheaton.edu

Getting the colon-separated (what the man page called "ldif") format
required the '-L' flag:

$ ldapsearch -L -h ldap.wheaton.edu -b "o=Wheaton College,c=US" "(cn=*darrow*)" "mail"
dn: cn=John.P.Darrow, o=Wheaton College, c=US
mail: John.P.Darrow@wheaton.edu

Changing the default format is _not_ a very friendly thing for the
openldap people to do (think about how many scripts are now broken).
And even so, one would think that they'd have provided some way of
getting back the original format.  But I don't currently have an
openldap 2.x installation anywhere to test with...
