System: Ubuntu 10.10 OpenLDAP 2.4.23

I have a user that I want to give global read rights to. I used webmin to do so, but somehow that app corrupts the olcDatabase={1}hdb.ldif file, so I am looking for another way to do this.

Before this, I was used to a different verison of ldap and am a bit lost with where I need to make the change.

Can anyone give me a pointer?

:/etc/ldap/slapd.d/cn=config# ls -la

If you are using cn=config, then you shouldn't be editing files to change the configuration. Try reading some documentation, for example LDAP for Rocket Scientists.
