Hello,

This is a LDAP generic question.  I suggest you contact the LDAP list 
(ldap@umich.edu) and ask your question there.  I also suggest reading the 
many RFC's on objectClasses so that you can gain an understanding of how 
they work.  Reading the supplied schema files from OpenLDAP also helps when 
read the FAQ's.
