Ok, I realize I keep answering my own letters but I found the problem...
I didn't create a base for the directory tree- I don't remember doing
this before but now the directory is working again, so I'm happy-


basically I added an entry defining my base dn and the the other entries
fell into place, ie.

#the base
dn: dc=jct,dc=ac,dc=il
objectclass: organization
o: JCT

#the entries
dn: cn=yonah,dc=jct,dc=ac,dc=il
...

It's really a wonder that I didn't find something simple written
anywhere to explain such a basic thing.
