No such object... slapd 1.2.5

I think you need to specify a base DN for the search using the "-b"
switch. So, assuming your root node is specified as, say,

	o=OrganizationName, c=us

then your ldapsearch command would look like this:

	ldapsearch -h 127.0.0.1 -b 'o=OrganizationName, c=us' 'objectclass=*'

the key here is telling ldapsearch where to start looking.
