adding new partitions [auf Viren überprüft]

[Hans Moser <hans.moser@ofd-sth.niedersachsen.de>]

Hi!

In my very simple test environment I added a subordinate partition.
When a activate the partition in slapd.conf, everthing is invisible to 
my ldap-browser(s).
Adding the entry, which ist under "suffix" of the new database, is only 
accepted, when I add a rootdn of its own to the new partition and use 
this to authenticate with ldapadd.
After that, the wohle (new) DIT is shown.

What's the right way to expand an installation with an new subordinate 
partition, i.e. ou=test,o=foo,c=bar?
Do I have to add the ou=test first to the DIT?
Do I need a rootdn for every partition?
"It is recommended that  the  rootdn  only  be specified  when  needed 
(such  as  when	initially populating a database)." [man slapd.conf]
