OT: Re: [Samba] "ldap_add: Already exists (68)"

[Paul Gienger]

Should really have been posted to an LDAP list, but anyways...

Please read through all of this:  I may be violating some object classes

In that it halts the import of your ldif yes.  Also in that you have a 
badly broken ldif.

Add this to the object that already has the dn dc=EAGLES,dc=com

dn: dc=EAGLES,dc=com
objectclass: dcobject
objectclass: organization
objectClass: domain
o: EAGLES com.
dc: EAGLES

This entry is also broken in that your dn: uncludes an ou, which is not 
specified below as an attribute.  As an aside, you don't need to 
manually specify your Manager object.

Why not leave these out and just let the smbtools-populate script add them?
