CREATE NEW USERS

["Ravi Mittal" <ravi@gtong.net>]

Hi All,
   I know how to define access control but I don't know how to create users.

Do I add rootdn, dn in database definition or I add entries like [dn:
cn=user1, dc=test, dc=com] using ldapadd after the creation of database.

I know it's a novice question but............

Thanx a lot in advance,
Regards
Ravi

sorry, left out a few lines of my slapd.conf.  Here they are:

# Allow clients to authenticate
access to
attr=objectclass,uid,host,uidnumber,gidnumber,homedirectory,loginshell,gecos
,description
        by dn="cn=Manager,dc=nowcom,dc=com" write
        by * read
