Great it worked! Thanks alot Adam!

sudo ldapadd -x -W -c -D "cn=admin,cn=config" -f hostobject.ldif

Why didn't you use the ldapns.schema that is provided by pam_ldap, using correct OIDs and everything?

I guess because Ubuntu, while shipping with cn=config, doesn't document how to convert .schema format schemas to ldif format? That's no reason to use random schemas, when appropriate ones already exist.

Actually, they do document it:

And I helped them write it...
