I have not set any password in slapd.conf. In fact there isn't a slapd.conf.  
There is a slapd.d directory with what looks like a tree structure for what I 
am guessing used to be in a single slapd.conf file.

I did use salppasswd to generate the passwords.  Since posting my first email 
I have re-generated both the root and Manager passwords and re-run the setup.

I no longer get the "Invalid credentials" error so presumably the problem must 
have been a cut/paste issue.

I now get the following error. As I am a total newbie to LDAP and don't really 
know what's going on, I don't know what I need to do to fix it.

[root at ollie2 ~]# ldapadd -x -D cn=Manager,dc=ringways,dc=com -W -f 
basedomain.ldif
Enter LDAP Password: 
adding new entry "dc=ringways,dc=com"

        additional info: value of single-valued naming attribute 'dc' 
conflicts with value present in entry
[root at ollie2 ~]# cat basedomain.ldif
