Hi Pierangelo,

Thanks for your response.

I'm trying to do the equivalent of an ldap_add, not ldap_modify, so in 
LDIF it's:

dn: <somedn>
changetype: add
<attribute>: <value>
<attribute>: <value>
objectClass: <oc1>
objectClass: <oc2>
<attribute>: <value>
<attribute>: <value>
<attribute>: <value>

(The above is actually very similar to the entry in the *.rej file - I 
should create some sanitised records in my directory so that I can just 
copy and paste without including the names of any customers)

I'm not sure if that is somehow equivalent to your top form. Is add 
generally a special case of modify, or is this only the case for the 
command line utilities?

Bernard.
