One is for PADL software (/etc/ldap.conf) and one is for
OpenLDAP (normally /usr/local/etc/openldap/ldap.conf but
apparently /etc/openldap/ldap.conf in the RPM you used).

You should avoid backends with multiple suffixes.

rootpw should appear on a line by itself.

If the RPM docs say to use ldif2ldbm, they should be updated.
ldapadd(1) should be used to add new entries to your directory.

Well, first, I'd suggest adding -b 'dc=my-domain dc=net' option
before relying on ldap.conf being correct.

As I would expect, unless you inappropriately have objectclass
names that ends with a space.  Try 'objectclass=*' instead.
