Thank you for your help.<shuffles feet in an embarrassed fashion>
cn=config is an LDAP database, it is not a collection of files for you to edit
by hand. You are supposed to use ldapmodify on it, for reasons of this very
nature. I.e., ldapmodify gets syntax-checked and stupid typos of this sort get
caught.
If you had used "ldapmodify -H ldapi:/// -Y EXTERNAL" to add the desired
attributes you wouldn't have these silly problems.
If your LDAP browsers don't support ldapi:/// that's their deficiency...
