I am also having troubles with setting up OpenLDAP in Karmic. I understand the recent changes are part of a bigger goal. However, novice users like me desperately need some documentation on how to get a simple directory database up and running. I have already put in a forum message on this at <http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1295934> and filed a bug against the ubuntu-docs at <https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ubuntu-docs/+bug/459403>.

I understand that we need to use the "sudo ldapadd -Y EXTERNAL -H ldapi:/// ..." command to update the cn=config. But can we get some working sample files in the man pages or in the Ubuntu docs? None of the samples I have found have worked (see my forum posts for more info).
