Howdy Rodolfo,
That's absolutely correct the only thing that I found out was easier was to
install phpldapadmin before loading any ldif, that way I could load ldif
properly since ldap said that it had loaded the ldif but infact when I
checked it had not, odd really to receive BS from something as stable as
ldap, something that took me a few hours to figure out, a few hours I
wouldn't mind getting back :)
