dc-style DNs are meant to be mapped to DNS domain names. Note that DNS
names does not allow an underscore. Since there wasn't a globally unique
name space established this is the way to go to create DNs which are
registered to your company like DNS domain names.

So I have registered stroeder.com. So it's suitable for me to use
dc=stroeder,dc=com or whatever below of that.

You could also just use "o=My company name".

Uuuh? Where did you read this? Please post the exact message and where
you found it. I suspect it's just a message caused by a missing
DB_CONFIG file.

Ciao, Michael.
