Argh, either I'm being very thick or I'm missing something. I've been
following the former but using 'admin' instead of 'Manager' and my
suffix is 'dc=phy,dc=umist,dc=ac,dc=uk' (I guess it doesn't matter that
it's not my full domainname ratty.phy.umist.ac.uk as long as I
consitently use the same?). When I try ldapmodify (I made a mistake with
the first ldapadd so I guess I now need ldapmodify) I get the follow
error which I don't understand. My slapd.conf and addressbook.ldif are
below. All help/corrections welcome!
