i don't use redhat anywhere. but openldap is openldap.

use the command:
ldapadd -f BASE.ldif -x -D "cn=admin,o=linuxpowered,c=us" -w secret

once that is done, edit slapd.conf, remove the rootpw setting
and add accounts.ldfi this time use -w slapd instead of secret.

it can't hurt to rm the data that is in your LDAP directory
beforehad(if there is any) when i started my LDAP data
directory was empty.

like i said before, i did this last night from scratch on
my solaris 7 system..

if your not willing to do anything on your own I suggest
getting a redhat support contract and contacting them,
that is perhaps redhat's strongest feature - support.

good luck
