Thanks for your reply.  However, I feel that it could be incorrect.  Please
feel to correct me if I am wrong.

If I had an objectclass violation, then I would instead get error messages
with text something like (not verbatim):

"No structual objectlcass defined"

or

"bad structural objectclass chain X/Y"

... like you have documented in the FAQ.  I would know- as I mentioned, I
have had to overhaul my data quite a bit to make it import into 2.1.X .  The
error message states that I am missing an _attribute_.

I probably should have done this right off the bat: here's a sample entry:

dn:
plugInName=TestEntry,cn=bs10so.cg.shawcable.net,hubsiteCode=so,areaCode=cg,p
rovinceCode=ab,rscName=Calgary,ou=RSC,o=Shaw Cablesystems,c=CA
objectClass: plugIn
ipAddress: 24.71.223.156
plugInName: TestEntry

(the dn is one line of course, it'll just get wrapped funny in the mail
message)


.. and here is the definition for that object class:


objectclass ( 1.3.6.1.4.1.4203.666.26
        NAME 'plugIn'
        SUP top STRUCTURAL
        DESC 'Service plugIn for monitoring'
        MUST (plugInName $ ipAddress)
        MAY ( <big list snipped> ))


I certainly don't see anything wrong with that entry.  Works with slapadd,
not with ldapadd.  I should reiterate that I can add _nothing_ with
ldapadd/ldapmodify.  No entries at all.  And I've tried lots of different
objectclasses and records, including very simple ones that only used a
predefined structural objectclass.  I always get the same error message.

I am fairly certain that there is nothing wrong with any of the
objectclasses- but, I could be wrong, of course.
