#1622 No structural class causes user add failure

[Jaldhar H. Vyas]

A Debain user reports:

I can't add new users with this module. The error message
is

Failed to save user : Failed to add user to LDAP database :
no structural object class provided

and indeed, the new user is of objectclasses posixAccount
and
shadowAccount, which are both AUXILIARY and not
STRUCTURAL in openldap. As far as I know the problem
occured because the new version of openldap (2.1) started
to enforce proper object classes.

Do you know if there is a correct structural object class
that should be used when creating users in this situation?

In my intranet setup I'm using 'account' as the structural object
class which works. I'm not 100% sure that would be the best
choice though.

The next Webmin release will always set the 'person' object
class too, which will solve this problem.

In the mean time do you have a patch? I'd like to update the
Debian package as quickly as possible.
