Also, ldif2ldbm(8) and its ancillary programs are very strict about the syntax of the LDIF file. Some liberties in the LDIF file may result in an apparently successful creation of the database, but accessing some parts of it may be difficult.
One known common error in database creation is putting a blank line before
the first entry in the LDIF file. There must be no leading blank lines in the
LDIF file.
It is recommended that ldapadd(1) be used instead of ldif2ldbm(8) when
adding new entries your directory. ldif2ldbm(8) does not any data consistency
checking.
