DC / list,
i have a quick and dirty perl script i had cooked up to do this. it was
enough to allow me to convert some openldap schema to FDS. i was able
to successfully start FDS after converting a few of them (samba3, etc).
i probably went about it all wrong. for instance the dn: line is
probably written out incorrectly (i just did what i could to make it
work). i haven't even tried importing a database using the newly
converted schemas, so your milage will almost certainly vary.
anyway, i've pasted it in the message below because i'm not sure if the
list allows attachments. i hope it's of some use to people trying to
make the switch from openldap to FDS.
