Though RFC 2307 does not provide RFC 2252 conformant schema
descriptions, it does provide:
( nisSchema.1.14 NAME 'nisNetgroupTriple'
DESC 'Netgroup triple'
SYNTAX 'nisNetgroupTripleSyntax' )
( nisSchema.0.0 NAME 'nisNetgroupTripleSyntax'
DESC 'NIS netgroup triple' )
(where nisSchema is 1.3.6.1.1.1) which clearly indicates that
the nisNetgroupTriple attribute has a syntax nisNetgroupTripleSyntax,
whose OID is 1.3.6.1.1.1.0.0.
I see no prose or formal schema description in RFC 2307
that implies the syntax of this attribute type is IA5String
(1.3.6.1.4.1.1466.115.121.1.26).

This syntax OID is quite valid and implemented in slapd(8).
