LDAP error message? (automount schema)

I've been working on getting an LDAP server up and running, in an
attempt to replace my old NIS service. I've used the following tutorial
to get much of the service up and running -- in particular getting user
names and passwords working so I can have a common authentication model.

http://www.linuxjournal.com/article/8119

I'm hoping at some point to be able to tie in LDAP and Samba so I can
unify my logins across both Linux and Windows, but that's another thread...

The one problem I'm stuck on however is specifying the automount
sources. I was able to do this in NIS by specifying the automount maps,
in particular for auto.home.

I am building this on a reasonably clean install of a Fedora-7
server. Following the tutorial, I've created the following
auto.master.ldif:

================================
dn: ou=auto.master,dc=bbaggins,dc=net
objectClass: top
objectClass: automountMap
ou: auto.master

dn: cn=/h,ou=auto.master,dc=bbaggins,dc=net
objectClass: automount
automountInformation: ldapu=auto.home,dc=bbaggins,dc=net
cn: /h

dn: cn=/share,ou=auto.master,dc=bbaggins,dc=net
objectClass: automount
automountInformation: ldapu=auto.misc,dc=bbaggins,dc=net
cn: /share
================================

However, when I try to add the entries, I get the following:


# ldapadd -a -W -x -D "cn=root,dc=bbaggins,dc=net" -f ~/auto.master.ldif
Enter LDAP Password:
adding new entry "ou=auto.master,dc=bbaggins,dc=net"
ldap_add: Invalid syntax (21)
additional info: objectClass: value #1 invalid per syntax


The schemas which I am including in the slapd.conf file are:
include /etc/openldap/schema/core.schema
include /etc/openldap/schema/cosine.schema
include /etc/openldap/schema/inetorgperson.schema
include /etc/openldap/schema/nis.schema
include /etc/openldap/schema/samba.schema
include /etc/openldap/schema/misc.schema

Any ideas where I might be missing something???

IIRC, none of the above schemas, has "automountMap" type defined. You
need to include a schema which "automountMap" type defined. Check out
the configuration at URL you mentioned.

After doing some more in-depth recursive greps, I discovered that there
was a .../schema/redhat/autofs.schema file which I have not included in
my slapd.conf file. This still hasn't solved my problem with being able
to add autofs entries, but it's a step closer. I think I still just
have to figure out the exact entries the schema is looking for in the
LDIF file.
