Question on ldap_add: No such object error

[Seah Hong Yee <hongyee@polyscientific.com.my>]

I am trying to migrate my current system from NIS to OpenLDAP. 
Unfortunately when I use the migration-tools (from padl.com) that come 
with my Linux distribution I kept getting the error ldap_add: No such 
object  when I try to insert the resulting ldif files.

The problem seems to be if I set my suffix to

database        ldbm
suffix          "dc=mycompany,dc=com,dc=my"

I get an error when I try to add the base entry

adding new entry "dc=com,dc=my"
ldap_add: No such object

However if I set my suffix to

suffix          "dc=mycompany,dc=com"

I can add them successfully.

Them problem seems to come from if I included the TLD my country into 
the entry.

Thanks
