Still I don't quite understand it: It seems the attribute is also in the
config database (dn: cn=schema,cn=config), so why is it unknown when slapd
starts? It cannot be the reason that the schema is provided by an overlay. That
would apply when starting the first time only, maybe (when the schema database
isn't populated yet by the overlay).
