Another go at this...

[Craig White <craigwhite@azapple.com>]

I am having another go at using openldap - RH 7.2 - I don't think the
version matters but I will look it up if necessary. Quits on the first
record - must be a simple problem.

Here's what I get...

# ldapadd -x -v -h localhost -D "cn=Manager,dc=azapple,dc=com" -f
addbook.ldif
ldap_init( localhost, 0 )
add modifytimestamp:
        20010706011041Z
add cn:
        21st Century
add xmozillanickname:
        21st Century
add mail:
        root@tempe.21stcenturyvitamins.com
add xmozillausehtmlmail:
        FALSE
add givenname:
        21st Century
add objectclass:
        top
        person
adding new entry "cn=21st
Century,mail=root@tempe.21stcenturyvitamins.com"
ldap_add: No such object

And for reference sake
