Howard,
This is actually a format that I have use on other ldif's and they work. I did follow you advice on the slapd.conf and got pas the errors and hit another snag to discover that after following instructions on createing a build and installing with no errors that openLdap still wsa showing as installed. So I have started going back over those instructions from the install file as well as the 2.4 admin documentation that is out of date. The slapd.conf man pages on the server don't even list mdb as an attribute for the database. So reading documentation that has not been updated isn't always that helpful.
there are database specific manual pages, slapd-hdb(5), slapd-mdb(5), slapd-ldap(5) etc.
This is my first go at openLDAP and I am sorry that I might waste some of your time, but the last book that written on this software that I can find was written 7 years when some of the now deprecated features were just in the planning stages.
I quite agree, third party documentation is sparse, but most of the available documentation on ldap and openldap is mature but still valid.
