But that means that I should rewrite all my entries so that they include
that new objectclass insteed of the standard account one, what a big job
ahead :-( -> slapcat , edit my 3000 entries (perl might help here !?)
from the ldif file, then slapadd .
I prefere to change one string in the schema definition :-)
Are there people here who really rewrote a new objectclass in that case
?
