My apologies, those version numbers were wrong, these are the correct
ones:

FreeRADIUS-0.9.3-r1
OpenLDAP-2.1.26

and on Gentoo Linux, v. 6.15.4 if that helps.

I am currently reading the howto you supplied, and have included the
schema with these results:

BEFORE adding:
        include         /etc/openldap/schema/RADIUS-LDAPv3.schema
to /etc/openldap/slapd.conf

adding new entry "cn=Veronica Cooper,ou=dialup,dc=bnet,dc=org"
ldapadd: update failed: cn=Veronica Cooper,ou=dialup,dc=bnet,dc=org
ldap_add: Undefined attribute type (17)
        additional info: dialupAccess: attribute type undefined
---------------
AFTER adding:
        include         /etc/openldap/schema/RADIUS-LDAPv3.schema
to /etc/openldap/slapd.conf

adding new entry "cn=Veronica Cooper,ou=dialup,dc=bnet,dc=org"
ldapadd: update failed: cn=Veronica Cooper,ou=dialup,dc=bnet,dc=org
ldap_add: Object class violation (65)
        additional info: attribute 'dialupAccess' not allowed

--------------------------------------------------------------

I am hopeful that the howto will fix the rest, thank you.
