I created a ldap directory with a number of users and groups. When I query this directory from a remote server with:

ldapsearch -H ldap://ldap.myserver.net/ -x -vvvvvvv -b dc=myserver,dc=net -D cn=admin,dc=myserver,dc=net -W

I get all objects in the directory returned. The result finishes with the following:

# search result
search: 2
result: 0 Success

# numResponses: 85
# numEntries: 84

What do these numbers mean exactly?
