Re: Adding an attribute host

["Mike O'Rourke" <mjoop@curia.op.org>]

That is exactly what I am saying. For OpenLDAP 2.x, you would need
something like this:
	dn: uid=someusername,ou=People,dc=example,dc=com
	changetype: modify
	add: objectClass
	objectClass: account
	add: host
	host: mchn2.example.com
Being relatively new to OpenLDAP (of the 2.1.x generation), I am not
sure about the sanity checks OpenLDAP 1.x put on data, and it could be
that it did not check such things on input, and your examples would be
silently accepted in OpenLDAP 1.x. Someone with more history in the LDAP
world would have to chime in.

Thanks Mike,

Are you saying the "objectClass: account" needs to be in the ldif
file?
All the examples and text I've looked through dosen't indicate putting
it in the file list of records(changes) I am importing.  If so then
would I need to make two "add" statements or just simply create an
extra
line for "objectClass: account"?
