hmm.. actually, you _have to_ add a entry _if_ it is declared as the 
suffix of a database. but, and that's what i meant, maybe that wasn't 
clear, you cannot add an entry that is virtually above all of your 
suffixes..

look at this entry in slapd.conf:

database ldbm
suffix "o=magnaquest,c=in"
...

and let's say, there are no other database definitions in slapd.conf, 
this configuration won't allow you to add

dn: c=in
...

into your db. you'll get a "no such object" error message from slapd..
