With Ubuntu 10.04, slapd is shipped by default using slapd.d

No. Never create files inside slapd.d by hand.


One would usually add the new configuration object via LDAP, rather than
by modifying the database files. This is the point of cn=config.
However, adding files may work also...
No. cn=config is only meant to be manipulated via LDAP or slap* tools. Never muck around directly in the files. 


But it doesn't work for me.
