Problems with initial install of OpenLDAP

[Gar Nelson <Gar.Nelson@noaa.gov>]

I'm working on putting together a new RHEL4 box to serve as our primary 
Samba server, and I'd like to have OpenLDAP running on it for the 
userbase backend.  I've tried this on and off for several years, but 
have never been totally successful, and ended up using other options. 
This time, I'd really like to get it to work.

I'm using a howto as a guide that was written specifically for RHEL4 and 
Samba,  http://www.grennan.com/ldap-HOWTO.html  (Stalled at step 4.1) 
I'm at the point where I'm adding my first record, and with success, I 
should just get a prompt back.  Unfortunately, I don't just get a prompt 
back.

Commandline error message:
[root@ggw-s-bdc openldap]# ldapadd -a -W -x -D 
"cn=Manager,dc=ggw,dc=nws,dc=noaa" -f base.ldif
Enter LDAP Password:
adding new entry "dc=nws,dc=noaa"
ldap_add: Server is unwilling to perform (53)
      additional info: no global superior knowledge

Based on this, http://www.openldap.org/faq/data/cache/157.html, I'm 
guessing that my problem is that I'm adding ggw.nws.noaa before I added 
nws.noaa, but I'm not sure how to correct my ldif file to indicate that. 
I used a tool referenced in the howto to automatically generate the 
base.ldif. From looking at the file, it appears to me like there is a 
nws.noaa before the ggw.nws.noaa.

The reason for me using ggw.nws.noaa is that at some point, we are going 
to move to AD, and the 'vision' statement for that move has our office 
using that three segment identifier.

I don't know where I'm going wrong here.

Thanks for any pointers,
Gar
