>Using "lv" I can see the original japanese code is Shift-jis. You should change the japanese code to UTF-8. If you want to import Japanese, you must use UTF-8. Casue OpenLDAP support it but not other japanese code. By the way, You could try to use ldif file to import the entries what do you want to add. use -f option. but the ldif file must be saved as UTF-8 code. (you can use Hidemaru and etc. to save them) good luck.
