You were right I had mixed up the suffix and rootdn in the slapd.conf file.
But also I think there was a mix up when i corrected it and tried to do 
another ldapadd and ldapsearch without clearing out the database in 
/var/lib/ldap to start again.

I have now set the base in ldap.conf to "base    o=testnet.de" and the 
following for rootdn and suffix in slapd.conf:
    suffix          "o=testnet.de"
    rootdn          "cn=Manager, o=testnet.de"

So if i am to understand correctly the base dn of the entries in my ldif 
file is "o=testnet.de" ?

Thanks,

Mark
