	That really doesn't make all that much of a difference there, but
it's recommended.  What you're actually asking, is how to get your
credentials in there.  Without a userPassword attribute, you can't bind to
any of those dn's.  The ldappasswd command will let you set the passwords:

ldappasswd -b "o=company,c=us" -D "cn=admin,o=company,c=us" -W -H sha -h
	ldapserver -t "cn=dpartridge,o=company,c=us"
