Use ldapadd for adding new entries, not ldapmodify (unfortunately 'man' 
for both of these shows the same man page, but re-reading the examples 
near the end should make things clearer). If loading a sizeable initial 
directory, slapadd might make things a lot easier than ldapadd.

Further, the quick start section in the Admin Guide should help.

Yes. "changetype:" is only used for ldapmodify and friends.
