Augh. scratch that last email. That isn't what i meant to do. Here is what I did (and meant it. ;-))
I stopped slapd, and tried to put stuff in the database:
maude:/etc/ldap# slapadd -v -l ldif
got no error messages, restarted slapd, tried to search on something that should be there, but couldn't find it:
maude:/etc/ldap# ldapsearch -x "uid=ichbin" # extended LDIF # # LDAPv3 # base <> with scope subtree # filter: uid=ichbin # requesting: ALL #
# search result search: 2 result: 32 No such object
# numResponses: 1
Any ideas why I can't put stuff in the database? And any ideas why I have to start slapd using slapd instead of /etc/init.d/slapd start? I'm still pretty new at this stuff obviously...
thanks, maria
