The above isn't a valid LDIF input file.  Each entry must be separated by a 
space:

dn: dc=somesite, dc=net
objectClass: top

dn: cn=Manager, dc=somesite, dc=net
objectClass: top
objectClass: organizationalRole
cn: Manager

dn: o=hosting, dc=somesite, dc=net
objectClass: top
objectClass: organization
o: hosting


In addition:

The first entry is missing a "dc" attribute (dc: somesite)

"These censorship operations against schools and libraries are stronger
than ever in the present religio-political climate. They often focus on
fantasy and sf books, which foster that deadly enemy to bigotry and blind
faith, the imagination." -- Ursula K. Le Guin
