I've found that that there is not any mail attribute into inetOrgPerson
schema. therefor, I've added it for testing purposes, but when slapd starts
it returns the following error:

	Starting ldap server(s):
slapd/opt/openldap/etc/openldap/schema/inetorgperson.schema: line
	142: AttributeType not found: "audio"

so, the server refuses to start.

Thanks for the tip :) I had done that before I posted my message here, and
found different mail deffinitions on some schema files. I think the correct
one is in core.schema (line 494), but I can't make it to work.

The OpenLDAP version I'm using is the last one (2.0.4), can schema files be
wrong?
The object I'm trying to insert has the following values:

dn: uid=cbote,ou=Users,dc=testldap,dc=com
uid: cbote
cn: carlox
objectClass: account
objectClass: posixAccount
objectClass: top
objectClass: shadowAccount
userPassword: {crypt}xxxxxxxxxxxxx
shadowLastChange: 11208
shadowMax: 99999
shadowWarning: 7
loginShell: /bin/bash
uidNumber: 1000
gidNumber: 1000
homeDirectory: /home/cbote
gecos: Carlox
mail: cbote@somewhere.com

Sorry, if I look like a bit lost, but as I said before I'm new to LDAP. So,
thanks for your help.
