Re: OpenLDAP-2.0.7: "ldap_add: No such object" -- PLEASE HELP!!!

["Alex Kamalov" <alexk@icnt.net>]

Thank You very much David. It worked like a charm once I redid the entire
thing. Now, last question, say I want to a city (say, New Jersey), how do I
go by adding a city for "mycompany" ?

Is there any list of example commands where I can reference to ?

Thanks David!!!
Alex
