I am trying to configure an n-way multi master following the tutorial in the admin guide (18.3.3 in http://www.openldap.org/doc/admin24/replication.html). When trying to add/modify anything in the cn=config, I get the following error:

atlantis:~/comcast/authentication/ldif $ ldapadd -v -x -W -h 10.252.152.78 -D 'cn=Manager,dc=comcast,dc=com'
ldap_initialize( ldap://10.252.152.78 )
Enter LDAP Password:
dn: cn=config
objectClass: olcGlobal
cn: config
olcServerID: 1

add objectClass:
        olcGlobal
add cn:
        config
add olcServerID:
        1
adding new entry "cn=config"
modify complete
ldap_add: Insufficient access (50)


After looking through the test050 script, I see that this is done using the slapd –Ta instead of a slapadd.  I tried doing this, and get this error:

[root@kdc01 scripts]# slapd -Ta
bdb_db_open: warning - no DB_CONFIG file found in directory /usr/var/openldap-data: (2).
Expect poor performance for suffix "dc=comcast,dc=com".
bdb_monitor_db_open: monitoring disabled; configure monitor database to enable
dn: cn=config
objectClass: olcGlobal
cn: config
olcServerID: 1

slapadd: line 1: database (dc=comcast,dc=com) not configured to hold "cn=config"
slapadd: line 1: database (dc=comcast,dc=com) not configured to hold "cn=config"


I am using 2.4.15 built from source, with the only config option of changing the prefix directory.  Any ideas on whats going on?  Thanks.
