HI Chris, thanks for your faster than light answers !


I tried something like ldapadd -w rootpasshere - f  myldiffile.ldif

LDIF File contains
dn: dc=axsmarine,dc=com
objectclass: dcobject
dc: axsmarine




And it now tell me ldap_sasl_interactive_bind_s: No such attribute.


Well well. I'll get some aspirine and  I'll try to re RTFM...... ;-)

Best regards

Olivier
