[Gllug] Problems with OpenLDAP 'objectClass violation'

[Simon Morris]

Hello there.

I'm trying to add users to a new LDAP directory using the
directory_administrator utility.

OS: Debian Woody (Testing)
LDAP Server: OpenLDAP 2.1.22-1
Directory Administrator 1.5.1

This system worked on another test box (which I've since scrubbed) but
when I try to add a user I get the dreaded "object class violation" error
message.

I've posted the output of the LDAP packets to the link below but the
highlights are:

Attribute: objectclass
            Value: organizationalPerson
            Value: inetOrgPerson
            Value: account
            Value: inetLocalMailRecipient
            Value: top
            Value: posixAccount
            Value: shadowAccount

and the server says:

Error Message: invalid structural object class chain (inetOrgPerson/account)

so the problem seems to be with those 2 objectClass attributes. How can I
make them play nicely together? My config file is posted at:

Thanks if you can help at all.
