ldap/lwat test

["Bjarne Nielsen" <bjarne@elb.as>]

Don't know if it's all my fault, or if something is wrong with lwat(?) It  
might as well be me doing something wrong, but here's what I have done in  
case it interests someone:

Running DebianEdu 3.0. I have downloaded lwat from etch-test. I try to add  
an ldif file with some users from a school using Skolelinux2.0. First I  
moved everything from /var/lib/ldap/, then I tried to add the ldif-file

 tjener:~# slapadd -l ldifbackup.ldif
 /etc/ldap/slapd.conf: line 95: rootdn is always granted unlimited  
privileges.
 /etc/ldap/slapd.conf: line 101: rootdn is always granted unlimited  
privileges.
 bdb_db_open: Warning - No DB_CONFIG file found in directory  
/var/lib/ldap: (2)
 Expect poor performance for suffix dc=skole,dc=skolelinux,dc=no.

When I restart slapd, no users are found, except system users.

I tried to add the config file manually, and add ldif again. No change.

Since I don't know any better, I ran ldap-debian-edu-install, and then  
added the ldif file. Running slappadd -c -l ldifbackup.ldif adds all  
users, but then of course no users are member of teachers or students  
group. Otherwise users work, and I can log in.

I moved everything from ldap again, put back the original ldap-base, and  
removed the groups students and teachers using lwat. Then I added the ldif  
file. Now everything seems fine, users are in right groups, everyone can  
log in and out. But now I can no longer add users with lwat.

Here is the error-message I get:

Warning: ldap_add() [function.ldap-add]: Add: Internal (implementation  
specific) error in /usr/share/lwat/web/functions.php on line 625

I will keep doing other stupid things with lwat/ldap, if no-one like me to  
post "reports" like this, just tell...
