Create an ldif file with the following content:

dn: ou=People,dc=mdah,dc=state,dc=ms,dc=us
ou: People
objectClass: organizationalUnit

Assuming the file is named people.ldif, you add it via the command:

ldapadd -x -D "cn=adam,dc=mdah,dc=state,dc=ms,dc=us" -W \
    -h roark.mdah.state.ms.us -f people.ldif

I hope I got all that right. ;)
