Okay. I did that. I must be missing something else:
adding new entry "dc=org" ldap_add: Server is unwilling to perform (53) additional info: no global superior knowledge
Google says that means I'm adding something to a domain that doesn't exist yet. Of course it doesn't exist yet. That's why I'm adding it.

Something is definitely wrong. I've been scouring the Internet for documentation and tutorials. I finally broke down, and downloaded a GUI LDAP tool. Actually, I've tried several including jxplorer and LDAP Administration Tool, but I like the one by Jarek Gawor best:

Anyway, the GUI isn't even working. It gives me errors that it can't read dc=toby,dc=org,dc=org. It errors and fails when I try to add a user. I'm not sure what could be wrong with my conf files. They're pretty much set up with all the defaults except with my own realm instead of dc=example,dc=com.
Am I supposed to do something between editing the conf files/starting slapd and adding users?
Yes, you have to create the database, starting from the top and working your way down.
My DB starts at "", so I have to create the entire structure starting at dc=com. Adjust accordingly for your db:
dn: dc=com objectClass: organization objectClass: dcObject o: com domain dc: com
dn: dc=vmware,dc=com objectClass: organization objectClass: dcObject o: vmware domain dc: vmware
dn: dc=eng,dc=vmware,dc=com objectClass: organization objectClass: dcObject o: eng domain dc: eng
dn: ou=people,dc=eng,dc=vmware,dc=com objectClass: organizationalRole ou: people cn: people
