Additional syntaxes

[Luzian Scherrer <lsc@zi.unizh.ch>]

Hello,

In the OpenLDAP Administrator's Guide I read: "slapd can 
also be extended to support additional syntaxes [...], but this 
requires some programming and hence is not discussed here."

For example, if I wanted to have an attribute "sex" with two
possible values "male" or "female", how would I do that with
OpenLDAP? Is the addition of new syntaxes documented anywhere?

Seems somewhat like a FAQ though I cannot find it in the FAQ ;)

Thanks,
