hi-

i've been experimenting with using back-config (2.4.11 courtesy of
debian), and am able to add schema, but not able to delete the schema
after being added.  iirc, this should be possible in recent versions?

No, deleting Schema is not implemented in back-config. And I don't know of
any plans to implement it. The experimental back-config delete support in HEAD
(and recent 2.4 Versions when compiled with -DSLAP_CONFIG_DELETE) is only for
databases and overlays.

i'm confident that the schema's not in use by any entries.

adding the schema is successful:
ldapadd -xWD 'cn=admin,cn=config' -f java_schema.ldif 

Enter LDAP Password:
adding new entry "cn={13}java,cn=schema,cn=config"

ldapsearch confirms this:
ldapsearch -xWLLLb 'cn=schema,cn=config' -D 'cn=admin,cn=config' 

"(cn=*java*)" dn
Enter LDAP Password:
dn: cn={13}java,cn=schema,cn=config

ldapdelete says:
ldapdelete -vxWD 'cn=admin,cn=config' 

'cn={13}java,cn=schema,cn=config'
ldap_initialize( <DEFAULT> )
Enter LDAP Password:
deleting entry "cn={13}java,cn=schema,cn=config"
ldap_delete: Server is unwilling to perform (53)

i'm not seasoned at interpreting slapd debug output, but nothing

specifically jumps out at me when running with -d -1: 
[..]

what am i doing wrong? 
Nothing ;)

thanks for the clarification. i had read the description here : http://www.openldap.org/doc/admin24/appendix-changes.html#Better%20 {{B:cn=schema}}%20functionality which seemed to suggest deletion was now possible.
