Setting up the ldap ldbm database

[Stéphane Cesbron <stephane.cesbron@nantes.inserm.fr>]

Hello,

I'd like to build my ldap database but I'm running into big troubles.

My slapd.conf specify :

suffix "dc=sante, dc=univ, dc=fr"
rootdn "cn=Manager, dc=sante, dc=univ, dc=fr"
directory /var/lib/dap/sante.univ/
(I include all the schemas, core.schema, cosine.schema, 
inetorgperson.schema, nis.schema, rfc822-MailMember.schema, autofs.schema, 
kerberosobject.schema)

With such a basic configuration slapd starts but my database is empty.

Therefore, I wanted to put data in it using the PADL MigrationTools. I 
wanted to migrate the whole passwd file and aliases file in order to fill 
my ldbm database. But it doesn't work properly

./migrate_aliases.pl /etc/aliases aliases.ldif
./migrate_passwd.pl /etc/passwd passwd.ldif
I get aliases.ldif and passwd.ldif

I tried to run
ldapadd -f passwd.ldif -xv -D "cn=Manager,dc=sante, dc=univ-nantes, dc=fr" -W
and i got this error message :
adding new entry "uid=root,ou=People,dc=sante,dc=univ,dc=fr"
ldap_add: Operations error

ldapadd -f aliases.ldif -xv -D "cn=Manager, dc=sante, dc=univ, dc=fr" -W
and I got
adding new entry "cn=mailer-daemon, ou=Aliases, dc=sante,dc=univ,dc=fr"
ldap_add : Operations error

passwd.ldif looks like :
dn : uid=root, ou=People, dc=sante,dc=univ,dc=fr"
uid :root
cn:root
...

aliases.ldif lookds like :
dn : cn=piooss,ou=Aliases,dc=sante,dc=univ,dc=fr
cn : piooss
objectClass: nisMailAlias
objectClass: top
rfc822MailMember: philippe.iooss@xxx.net
...

Should I set up anything (format, ou,  objectClass ........) before trying 
to add anything to the database ?
How should I procede to get it filled up ?

Any helps will be greatly appreciated
Thanks in advance
