RE: newbie installation fails



Please list your schema entries in slapd.conf. Thats where the cullpit is.
The entries are something like this:
include         /etc/openldap/schema/core.schema
include         /etc/openldap/schema/cosine.schema
include         /etc/openldap/schema/inetorgperson.schema
include         /etc/openldap/schema/nis.schema
include         /etc/openldap/schema/redhat/rfc822-MailMember.schema
include         /etc/openldap/schema/redhat/autofs.schema
include         /etc/openldap/schema/redhat/kerberosobject.schema
include /etc/openldap/schema/samba.schema
include         /etc/openldap/schema/abookperson.schema

These entries are in a way the "database defenitions" for ldap. The
objectclass top is used in very many ldap entries including the top entry so
you must have it.

I suggest you just copy the entries "include ...someting...schema" entries
from redhat's conf file. That will save you a lot of time.
