In following the OpenLDAP Quick-start guide (as any good newbie...), I was
stumped because I followed the EXACT steps and commands, and they did not work
when ldapadd was being used to add the initial entries to the directory, as
called for in step 10.

Analysis :: 
 - failure was in ldap_bind(), no further message
 - clients had no default host set in the ldap.conf file
 - examples all OMITTED the use of the -h HOSTNAME parameter

Suggestion ::
 - modify http://www.openldap.org/faq/data/cache/182.html to include the use
   of the -h parameter to specify the host where slapd is running.

 -OR-
 - modify http://www.openldap.org/faq/data/cache/180.html to be titled
   "Create configuration files" from "Create .... for SLAPD" and include a
   paragraph on configuring ldap.conf (with a reference to the ldap.conf
   manpage)
