hmmm, after looking thru things more... I'm wondering what version of openldap you are using? Just wondering
The latest 2.0.x, the schemas shouldn't have changed much.
why my schema files seem pretty much completely different to yours?
? I didn't include my schema.
sorry, I just meant from your comments in that rfc822MailMember and nisMailAlias are in my misc.schema and they are in your nis.schema...
thanks for the info on dumping below, I'm going to try that and see if I can get more info...
Cheers Bill Dossett
The command for dumping the running schema is in my LDAP presentation ftp://kalamazoolinux.org/pub/pdf/ldapv3.pdf
You may see it load, but you should check to see if something dastardly happened to it subsequently. You can also browse schema with GQ.
