Re: Failure populating ldap.

["Sean O'Malley" <omalleys@msu.edu>]

try it with the -c flag. :)

I have a feeling the first record already exists and it errors out and
stops. The -c flag continues on error.

My second guess would be you have a space at the end of your entry in your
ldif which will give you a similar error.

I have also seen a similar error with I believe it is cache corruption and
the database isn't synced with the database cache, and deleting and
readding the entry gets rid of that error.

But I could be wrong. It might not be any of those. :)
