I don't have a problem with the mechanism of using ldapadd and putting 
in the address by hand.  If there will be alot of edits and I feel that 
phpldamadmin or the Java ldap prowser/editor are clumsy, I'll write a 
PHP tool to help me do that.

The problem I have is the initial "getting the first address in" to 
actually view it somewhere.

I found that the openldap docs and the RH docs are missing a key syntax 
ingredient.  I can't believe that I'm the only one with these problems 
and I find it harder to believe that the docs are true to the letter.

 From the http://www.redhat.com/mirrors/LDP/HOWTO/LDAP-HOWTO/dbonline.html:

The example given is for the initial entry is:

o=TUDelft, c=NL 
objectClass=organization 
description=Technical University of Delft Netherlands 

cn=Postmaster, o=TUDelft, c=NL 
objectClass=organizationalRole 
cn=Postmaster

It's the same for the "dc=example,dc=com" however I found that to get ldapadd to work, 
those entries need to be changed to:


dn: o=TUDelft, c=NL 
objectClass: top
objectClass: organization 
description: Technical University of Delft Netherlands 

dn: cn=Postmaster, o=TUDelft, c=NL 
objectClass: organizationalRole 
dn: cn=Postmaster
description: TUDelft postmaster - postmaster@tudelft.nl

Now, this still doesn't add into the database but I don't get the errors that I got before so at least I feel that those changes are worthwile.

There is/was a Three stooges configuration that was helpful and I still can't get that file to import.

Craig, what are you using your openldap for?
