Re: ldapadd returning strange messages (undocumented?)

Hi Blake,

    from what I can see you are missing most of the person's dn, your  have

dn: cn=Janelle Overhaus

The dn fully qualifies so must have all the info to locate it. You shoudl
have some like
dn: cn=Janelle Overhaus, o=Netopolis, c=US

at least but you would probably want to create some organisational unit
stucture to get something like

dn: cn=Janelle Overhaus, ou=department, ou=staff, o=Netopolis, c=US

cheers,
   Gerrit Thomson.
