You don't need this attribute, its value is implicit.

You don't create schemas, you just load them. You create entries, 
instanciating your schema. Try ldapsearch to check your current LDAP 
content. But if ldapadd returns and error, that's not even worth checking.

.la file are libtool library files, wrapping the corresponding .so file 
for dynamic loading. You can either use ppolicy.la or ppolicy.so file in 
your slapd configuration file.

BTW, please use plain text, and not HTML, when posting here.
