hi list.. I am trying to add an ldif with my users that I have derived from /etc/passwd. for some reason ldapadd is choking on the first entry... I've also tried removing the first one and predictably each one fails in exactly the same way...may I ask how best to correct this? Here is the error: LDAP# ldapadd -x -D "cn=Manager,dc=summitnjhome,dc=com" -W -f /tmp/passwd.ldif adding new entry "uid=root,ou=People,dc=summitnjhome,dc=com" ldap_add: Invalid syntax (21) additional info: objectClass: value #6 invalid per syntax Here is the first entry which presented a problem when I attempted to add it: dn: uid=root,ou=People,dc=summitnjhome,dc=com uid: root cn: Enoch & givenName: Enoch sn: & mail: root at summitnjhome.com mailRoutingAddress: root at mail.summitnjhome.com mailHost: mail.summitnjhome.com objectClass: inetLocalMailRecipient objectClass: person objectClass: organizationalPerson objectClass: inetOrgPerson objectClass: posixAccount objectClass: top objectClass: kerberosSecurityObject userPassword: {crypt}* krbName: root at summitnjhome.COM loginShell: /bin/csh uidNumber: 0 gidNumber: 0 homeDirectory: /root gecos: Enoch & And here are the schemas I have included in my slapd.conf: LDAP# cat /usr/local/etc/openldap/slapd.conf # # See slapd.conf(5) for details on configuration options. # This file should NOT be world readable. # include /usr/local/etc/openldap/schema/core.schema include /usr/local/etc/openldap/schema/cosine.schema include /usr/local/etc/openldap/schema/inetorgperson.schema include /usr/local/etc/openldap/schema/openldap.schema include /usr/local/etc/openldap/schema/sudoers.schema include /usr/local/etc/openldap/schema/nis.schema include /usr/local/etc/openldap/schema/misc.schema And these are the permissions on those schema files: [root at LBSD2:/usr/local/etc/openldap/schema]#ls -l core.schema cosine.schema inetorgperson.schema openldap.schema sudoers.schema nis.schema misc.schema -r--r--r-- 1 root wheel 20583 Oct 9 21:37 core.schema -r--r--r-- 1 root wheel 74080 Oct 9 21:37 cosine.schema -r--r--r-- 1 root wheel 6360 Oct 9 21:37 inetorgperson.schema -r--r--r-- 1 root wheel 2471 Oct 9 21:37 misc.schema -r--r--r-- 1 root wheel 7723 Oct 9 21:37 nis.schema -r--r--r-- 1 root wheel 1602 Oct 9 21:37 openldap.schema -r--r--r-- 1 root wheel 1655 Oct 9 02:50 sudoers.schema And here is what is happening in the LDAP logs when I try to add the file: Oct 28 19:39:20 LBSD2 slapd[7372]: daemon: read activity on 11 Oct 28 19:39:20 LBSD2 slapd[7372]: daemon: select: listen=6 active_threads=0 tvp=NULL Oct 28 19:39:20 LBSD2 slapd[7372]: daemon: select: listen=7 active_threads=0 tvp=NULL Oct 28 19:39:20 LBSD2 slapd[7372]: daemon: activity on 1 descriptor Oct 28 19:39:20 LBSD2 slapd[7372]: daemon: waked Oct 28 19:39:20 LBSD2 slapd[7372]: daemon: select: listen=6 active_threads=0 tvp=NULL Oct 28 19:39:20 LBSD2 slapd[7372]: daemon: select: listen=7 active_threads=0 tvp=NULL Oct 28 19:39:20 LBSD2 slapd[7372]: conn=1002 op=1 ADD dn="uid=root,ou=People,dc=summitnjhome,dc=com" Oct 28 19:39:20 LBSD2 slapd[7372]: conn=1002 op=1 RESULT tag=105 err=21 text=objectClass: value #4 invalid per syntax Thanks for your help! -- Here's my RSA Public key: gpg --keyserver pgp.mit.edu --recv-keys 5A4873A9 Share and enjoy!!

Is mailRoutingAddress defined in your schema? -- Norman Gaywood, Computer Systems Officer University of New England, Armidale, NSW 2351, Australia ngaywood at une.edu.au? ? ? ? ? ?
