Re: [webmin-l] Failed to save user : Failed to add user to LDAP database : modifications require authentication

[test <te...@pe...>]

doing it by the book gives me this error
i think something has gone wrong with ldap
I hope it can be repaired else i have to re-install ldap
however rcldap status tells me it is running

perhaps i would have to rename my slapd.conf.backup to slapd.conf
do you think that would help or is the db broken?

peter:~ # ldapadd -x -D cn=Manager,dc=peter,dc=prive -W
Enter LDAP Password:
dn: dc=peter,dc=prive
objectClass: dcObject
objectClass: organization
o: PetersPretPaleis
dc: peter

adding new entry "dc=peter,dc=prive"
ldapadd: update failed: dc=peter,dc=prive
ldap_add: Internal (implementation specific) error (80)
        additional info: entry store failed
