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

slapcat

SLAPCAT(8C)															       SLAPCAT(8C)

NAME

       slapcat - SLAPD database to LDIF utility

SYNOPSIS

       /usr/sbin/slapcat [-v] [-c] [-d level] [-b suffix] [-n dbnum] [-f slapd.conf] [-l ldif-file]

DESCRIPTION

       Slapcat	is  used  to generate an LDAP Directory Interchange Format (LDIF) output based upon the contents of a slapd(8) database.  It opens
       the given database determined by the database number or suffix and writes the corresponding LDIF to standard output or the specified file.

       The LDIF generated by this tool is suitable for use with slapadd(8).  As the entries are in database order, not superior first order,  they
       cannot be loaded with ldapadd(8) without being reordered.

OPTIONS

       -v     enable verbose mode.

       -c     enable continue (ignore errors) mode.

       -d level
	      enable debugging messages as defined by the specified level.

       -b suffix
	      Use  the	specified  suffix  to  determine  which database to generate output for.  The -b cannot be used in conjunction with the -n
	      option.

       -n dbnum
	      Generate output for the dbnum-th database listed in the configuration file.  The -n cannot  be  used  in	conjunction  with  the	-b
	      option.

       -f slapd.conf
	      specify an alternative slapd.conf(5) file.

       -l ldif-file
	      Write LDIF to specified file instead of standard output.

Limitations
       Your slapd(8) should not be running (at least, not in read-write mode) when you do this to ensure consistency of the database.

EXAMPLES

       To make a text backup of your SLAPD database and put it in a file called ldif, give the command:

	    /usr/sbin/slapcat -l ldif
