Invalid syntax on ldapadd

[Vinh.CTR.Hoang@faa.gov]

Hi, I'm very new ldap, and i'm wondering
if you guys can help me with something.

I'm going over the some tutorials to
setup ldap for authentication.  However, I can't seem to be able to
add any users or groups.  
I'm Solaris 9, w/ openldap 2.3.35.  

my slapd.conf looks like:

database        bdb
suffix        
       "dc=caplan,dc=org"
rootdn        
       "cn=root,dc=caplan,dc=org"
rootpw        
       <PASSWORD>
directory        /usr/local/var/openldap-data
index        
       objecClass,uid,uidNumer,gidNumber eq
index        
       cn eq


the user i'm trying to add is:

dn: uid=ldapauth,dc=caplan,dc=org
objectclass: account
objectclass: posixAccount
objectclass: top
cn: ldapauth
uid: ldapauth
uidNumber: 100
gidNumber: 100

I have no trailling spaces.

my add commands is :
ldapadd -D "cn=root,dc=caplan,dc=org"
-f <File>

no matter what i do i get "Invalid
syntax"

Thanks in advance,
Vinh
