Re: adding /etc/passwd to ldap?

Try adding the "people-ou" before inserting your users. Something
like:

ou=People,dc=netmate, dc=com
ou=People
objectclass=top
objectclass=organizationalUnit
objectclass=domainRelatedObject
associateddomain=netmate.com

It's like trying to add some of these shiny red christmas-spheres on a
tree without the necessary branch :-).

migrate_base.pl (part of the MigrationTools) can also build an
ldif-file for you with the basic structure. And you should adapt the
scripts to your domain; padl.com is probably not what you want.
