So I've followed the suggestion to have only the objectClass inetOrgPerson. Now I'm told that there's no such object. My LDIF file:
dn: uid=trichards,dc=toby,dc=org,dc=org cn: Toby Richards givenName: Toby sn: Richards uid: trichards mail: trichards@toby.org.org objectClass: inetOrgPerson password: {CRYPT}*
Result: ldap_add: No such object (32)

The above doesn't work. It says that top/account isn't a valid chain.
What happens if you leave out "account"? It's a structural objectclass and is likely conflicting with inetOrgPerson.
If you check cosine.schema, you'll see the objectclass "account" as being meant for a computer account. You're essentially adding an entry that says it's for a person *and* a computer. (A cyborg, maybe?) LDAP wants clear lines of inheritance.
