ldapadd: Can't contact LDAP server ( Debian Linux package)

Hi,

Installed openldap using the debian linux package (Potato distribution). The slapd appears to be running normally. I'm going through the quickstart guide. When I type the command:

ldapadd -D "cn=Manager,dc=karthika,dc=com" -W -f test.ldif

I get the following messages:

adding new entry dc=ssa2,dc=com
ldapadd: Can't contact ldap server
ldapadd: additional info: Referral
ldap://ldap.four11.com

Any help would be appreciated...

the actual hostname that this machine is running on is named ssa2 (not ssa2.com).

Have created a test.ldif file as follows:

dn: dc=ssa2,dc=com
objectclass: dcObject
objectclass: organization
o: karthika
dc: ssa2

dn: cn=Manager,dc=ssa2,com
objectclass: organizationalRole
cn: Manager



the slapd.conf is as follows:

# This is the main ldapd configuration file.

# Schema and objectClass definitions
include        /etc/openldap/slapd.at.conf
include        /etc/openldap/slapd.oc.conf

# Schema for supporting Netscape Roaming
include        /etc/openldap/netscape_roaming.at.conf
include        /etc/openldap/netscape_roaming.oc.conf

# Schema for supporting Debian Package Directory entries
#include        /etc/openldap/debian.at.conf
#include        /etc/openldap/debian.oc.conf

# Schema check allows for forcing entries to
# match schemas for their objectClasses's
schemacheck    off

# Where clients are refered to if no
# match is found locally

# Where the pid file is put. The init.d script
