In order to get some users in the LDAP db, I added 
    database        passwd
    suffix          "ou=People, dc=ond, dc=tv2i, dc=dk"
...to slapd.conf.
Now all users on the system show up nicely under People.
However, when I try to log in as ("bind to", as I understand it) one of these, I get an error saying: 
    operation not supported within namingContext
A little Googling led me to the conclusion that this error stems from the fact that passwd is not a full LDAP backend and does not support "binds".
Does this make any sense? 
Could I make it work in some other way?
