LDAP/PAM First time

[Rus Foster <vaserv@gmail.com>]

HI
I'm taking my first steps into setting up an OpenLDAP/PAM setup and
I've managed to get the server + client speaking but I think I might
of screwed up my schemas or got myself very confused with some
googling. Current setup

Centos 5.x latest

Server

[root@host-95-154-194-53 tmp]# rpm -qa | grep -i openldap
openldap-2.3.43-3.el5
openldap-clients-2.3.43-3.el5
openldap-servers-2.3.43-3.el5

[root@host-95-154-194-53 tmp]# cat /etc/openldap/slapd.conf

I imported them with

  ldapadd -D "cn=Manager,dc=damnvps,dc=com" -W -f /tmp/passwd.ldif-x
  ldapadd -D "cn=Manager,dc=damnvps,dc=com" -W -f /tmp/passwd.ldif -x
  ldapadd -D "cn=Manager,dc=damnvps,dc=com" -W -f /tmp/hosts.ldif -x

However trying to pull out anything via ldapsearch gives

root@host-95-154-194-53 tmp]# ldapsearch  -x
# extended LDIF
#
# LDAPv3
# base <> with scope subtree
# filter: (objectclass=*)
# requesting: ALL
#

# search result
search: 2
result: 32 No such object

# numResponses: 1


What have I missed?

thanks
