I get the following error when I run the following:

 

ldapadd -w secret -D 'cn=root, o=Syrex Intranets, c=ZA' -f /root/new_stuff.ldif

 

I get an error message saying: 'ldap_bind: DSA is unavailable'

 

I'm running an rpm install version, ldap-3.3-4_.i386.rpm and ldap-servers-3.3-4.i386.rpm on Redhat v5.0 kernel 2.0.35

 

slapd.conf:

include  /etc/slapd.at.conf
include  /etc/slapd.oc.conf
schemacheck off
referral ldap://ldap.itd.umich.edu

database ldbm
suffix  "o=Syrex Intranets, c=ZA"
directory /var/ldap
rootdn  "cn=root, o=Syrex Intranets, c=ZA"
rootpw  secret

 

new_stuff.ldif is an address book entry exported from Netscape v4.05:
