There's no objectCLass called "group" (there's one in
MicroSoft's schema, but you cannot use it with OpenLDAP);
use "groupOfNames" instead (or "groupOfUniqueNames").

Moreover, you MUST provide a "member" attribute. As you can easily expect
a group to exist with no members temporarily, you may add the group
itself, or the directory administrator as member.
