The structuralObjectClass attribute is system controlled, so you cannot 
modify it with a client like ldap_add. Use slapadd to add such an LDIF, 
or clean the system attributes out of it. This was asked and answered on

As an aside, searching the list archives would be much more useful if 
the results were sorted newest to oldest. My previously contributed .02.
