[TriLUG] LDAP Question

I figured out the problem.  Sort of.  When I use KDirAdmin it will put the
entry in as cn=Ben Simpson,O=organization,c=country  instead of UID.  this
is backwards to what I said before.  All my entries that I put in manually
starts off correctly with UIDs.
It still has UID as an attribute but not in the DN.
So not sure how this is supposed to work.  Then I went back to Directory
Administrator.  And that fails when I create and entry.  And it looks like
it is trying to put it in the correct way with UIDs.  It fails when it tries
to put a trustedaccount (or trustaccount).  (I guess it is part of the
access control list)  In the GUI you can select the server people have
access to.  I looked at my schema with GQ and there is no listing for
trustedaccount.  Is there another schema I am missing or need to update?
I looked at the directory admin website and didn't find anything.
I think if I get Directory Admin to work it will be better than KDirAdmin.
Any help would be appreciated.
