[CALUG] More LDAP fun

[Hugh Brown]

Some quick thoughts:  are you sure you are connecting to the right instance
of ldap (i.e. localhost instead of somewhere else)

The error message makes it sound like something isn't there that you expect
to be:

ldapsearch -x -D 'cn=3Dadmin,dc=3Dhome' -W "(objectClass=3DorganizationalUn=
it)"

should return the Groups, People, and Contacts entities.

Also the ldif file should have a pair of trailing newlines.
