But the schema is incomplete if non-existent syntaxes are referenced.

There are several options:
- drop attribute type 'teletexTerminalIdentifier' completely from
   OpenLDAP schema files
- define another syntax supported by OpenLDAP for
   'teletexTerminalIdentifier' if appropriate
- add support for the syntax 1.3.6.1.4.1.1466.115.121.1.51.

Otherwise schema-aware clients have really a hard time to get it 
right.

Ciao, Michael.
