Because it was the default backend when I first started using openldap a 
couple of years ago. What backend should I be using?

I was not aware that I had to.

I eventually got to the bottom of the problem: I had commented out the 
updateref on the slave, but I had left the updatedn there. Even though I 
was using the root DN of the server to add the users, my attempt was 
rejected.

Is it possible to be more specific about why the attempt to write was 
rejected on the logfiles?
