hello,

I don't know if I am right but I suppose that you can't just export your
existant netscape-ldif-file and just import it to openldap-2.0.x. Impossible
because of the unknow objectclasses and attributetype (as you see yourself)
I had to change most of the attributetypes of the existant netscape-ldif-db
that openldap-2.0.x doesn't understand. For example nslicesedfor, mailhost,
maildeliveryoption, etc. There are a lot of changes to do. You can do it
with awk, sed & Co.
I don't know a better method.
But there is a great guy who did the netscape to openldap-1.2.11 migration.
have a look at :

good luck,

Jan
