Actually, I figured it out, and just performed an install that worked. I put my 99user.ldif in /opt/fedora-ds/bin/slapd/install/schema before running setup. Then, when I ran setup, I selected "custom install". Then I just fed it my ldif dump from openldap, and there were no errors in the ldif import stage of the installation. If I find that things really didn't happen after I fire up the console, I'll check back, but all appears well at the moment. brian. On Monday 20 June 2005 1:26 pm, David Boreham wrote: > Brian K.
