System wide find and sort
Hi,
I need to look for a config file (ldap.conf) and pick the latest modified file.

`locate` tells me there are many ldap.conf's, some in /etc, /usr, /home, etc.

Is there some way I can sort them by last modified time via bash?
I was thinking maybe I could pipe the output of `locate` to `ls -lt` but that doesn't seem to work.


Any ideas?

slapo-pbind

SLAPO-PBIND(5)							File Formats Manual						    SLAPO-PBIND(5)

NAME

       slapo-pbind - proxy bind overlay to slapd

SYNOPSIS

       /etc/ldap/slapd.conf

DESCRIPTION

       The  pbind  overlay  to	slapd(8) forwards Simple Binds on a local database to a remote LDAP server instead of processing them locally. The
       remote connection is managed using an instance of the ldap backend.

       The pbind overlay uses a subset of the ldap backend's config directives. They are described in more detail in slapd-ldap(5).

       Note: this overlay is built into the ldap backend; it is not a separate module.

       overlay pbind
	      This directive adds the proxy bind overlay to the current backend.  The proxy bind overlay may be used with any backend, but  it	is
	      mainly intended for use with local storage backends.

       uri <ldapurl>
	      LDAP server to use.

       tls <TLS parameters>
	      Specify the use of TLS.

       network-timeout <time>
	      Set the network timeout.

       quarantine <quarantine parameters>
	      Turns on quarantine of URIs that returned LDAP_UNAVAILABLE.

FILES

       /etc/ldap/slapd.conf
	      default slapd configuration file

SEE ALSO

       slapd.conf(5), slapd-config(5), slapd-ldap(5), slapd(8).
