Re: ldapadd says "no such object"

Yup.  did that.. I finally figured out I need to ... where did I miss it in the
docs?  Which page / document?

my ldif2ldbm file has

dn: c=us
objectClass: top
cn: common name for c=us

dn: c=us, o=org
objectClass: top
cn: common name for c=us, o=org

dn: c=us, o=org, ou=dev
objectClass: top
cn: common name for c=us, o=org, ou=dev

dn: c=us, o=org, ou=dev, cn=admin
objectClass: top
cn: common name for c=us, o=org, ou=dev, cn=admin

this last dn is the same as the rootdn
the rootpw is xxx

ldif2ldbm seems to work w/o erorr.. I get adding / indexing msg ok
