Need OpenLDAP Help

Hi, all:
I'm studying for the RHCE and have hit the section on configuring an OpenLDAP client. I'd like to practice this, but I can't get an OpenLDAP server set up. I followed the directions in RedHat's Deployment Guide, and it looks like the server is up and running, but I can't get the directory populated.

I try to do the initial population with the following (as root):

~/entry:

dn: dc=lohman,dc=home
objectClass: dcObject
objectClass: organization
o: Home
dc:lohman

# ldapadd -xf ~/entry
adding new entry "dc=lohman,dc=home"
ldapadd: Invalid DN syntax (34)
additional info: invalid DN

My OpenLDAP server is hp01.lohman.home (using internal dns for my home network).

I also tried installing phpldapadmin, but for whatever reason, I can't log into that. When I installed it, the original ldap.conf that I placed the password into (per RH Deployment Guide instructions) turned up missing, and there appears to be a different ldap.conf file in its place.

Any ideas?
TIA,
RJL
