Re: newbie building LDAP database

[Frank Swasey <Frank.Swasey@uvm.edu>]

You are trying to add an entry for a suffix (o=companyname) that you 
have not included a database for in your slapd.conf file and slapd is 
telling you that it doesn't know where to put that DN because it doesn't 
belong on your server and you haven't told it another server (a 
referral) to send such requests to.

You probably want to change your DN to use the same suffix as the other 
entries....
