Quick Start page out of date?

[Marc Petitmermet <petitmermet@ifp.mat.ethz.ch>]

Dear list members

Either I have an unusual installation (openldap 2.0.14, Berkeley DB 
3.2.9, Solairs 8, gcc 2.95.3) or the Quick Start 
<http://www.openldap.org/doc/admin/quickstart.html> is not up to date.

1. slapd.conf
-------------
If I use this slapd.conf:

database ldbm
suffix "dc=example,dc=com"
rootdn "cn=Manager,dc=example,dc=com"
rootpw no-secret
directory /usr/local/var/openldap-ldbm


I get the error "No objectClass "top" defined in schema".
When I include the core.schema, slapd starts up without errors.

include ./schema/core.schema
database ldbm
suffix "dc=example,dc=com"
rootdn "cn=Manager,dc=example,dc=com"
rootpw no-secret
directory /usr/local/var/openldap-ldbm



2. ldapsearch
-------------
In my case ldapsearch does not work as written on the Quick Start page.

ldapsearch -x -b '' -s base '(objectclass=*)' namingContexts
results in displaying the help for ldapsearch. No option -x is 
described in the help as well as the man page.

Therefore: ldapsearch -b '' -s base '(objectclass=*)' namingContexts
Result:    namingContexts=dc=example,dc=com

3. ldapadd
----------
In my case ldapadd does not work as written on the Quick Start page.

example.ldif
dn: dc=example,dc=com
objectclass: dcObject
objectclass: organization
o: Example Company
dc: example

dn: cn=Manager,dc=example,dc=com
objectclass: organizationalRole
cn: Manager

ldapadd -x -D "cn=Manager,dc=example,dc=com" -W -f example.ldif
results in displaying the help for ldapadd. No options -x and -W are 
described in the help as well as the man page.

Therefore: ldapadd -D "cn=Manager,dc=example,dc=com" -f example.ldif
Result:    Bind Password:
           adding new entry dc=example,dc=com
           ldap_add_s: Invalid syntax

I haven't had any success in creating and adding contents to a 
database using ldapadd so far. Also in the OpenLDAP 2.0 
Administrator's Guide, there are options used (-x) which are not 
available in my installation.

Do you know what's wrong here? I had no problems with the 
installation and make test run all 10 tests without problems. I also 
can use slapd.conf in the tests directory and modify the database 
entries. But I cannot create/add my own database.

Thanks in advance for your help (I hope that this is the correct mailing list.)

Regards,
Marc
