Richard,

That helped, but now I am getting :

ldap_bind: No such object (32)
        matched DN: dc=domain,dc=com

I am not certain that I have the correct password is there a way to get
to the password or should I rerun the setup script?

I did try to use openldap but could not get it to work remotely, I do
not have it running.  Are their tools peculiar to fedora-ds that I
should be using to load data?

Thanks for your help!!!
