I am trying to setup an ldap server on an SL6.2 system
I am following the instructions on:
http://www.server-world.info/en/note?os=Scientific_Linux_6&p=ldap

Unfortunately, when I try to follow the steps for doing the initial
configuration with ldapadd, I get a bunch of errors as follows:

1)
ldapadd -Y EXTERNAL -H ldapi:/// -f /etc/openldap/schema/core.ldif

gives:
SASL/EXTERNAL authentication started
SASL username: gidNumber=0+uidNumber=0,cn=peercred,cn=external,cn=auth
SASL SSF: 0
adding new entry "cn=core,cn=schema,cn=config"
ldap_add: Other (e.g., implementation specific) error (80)
         additional info: olcAttributeTypes: Duplicate attributeType: 
"2.5.4.2"

2)
ldapadd -Y EXTERNAL -H ldapi:/// -f /etc/openldap/schema/cosine.ldif

gives:
SASL/EXTERNAL authentication started
SASL username: gidNumber=0+uidNumber=0,cn=peercred,cn=external,cn=auth
SASL SSF: 0
adding new entry "cn=cosine,cn=schema,cn=config"
ldap_add: Other (e.g., implementation specific) error (80)
         additional info: olcAttributeTypes: Duplicate attributeType: 
"0.9.2342.19200300.100.1.2"

etc.

I keep getting Duplicate attributeType errors
These ldif files are shipped with the distribution, and, according to 
the notes, I don't have to modify them, but they do not work!

Can anyone help?

Thanks
Eve
