Re: Changing OID

[Christoph Neumann <enigma@apu.edu>]

I've had to change the OIDs before on my server and never had a problem.  
So long as the only place the OID is used is in the schema file, you
should be fine.  If you have software that uses the OID instead of the
attribute name, you could have a problem.
