This would seem to be contrary to the documentation on redhat's site. I'm 
certainly not meaning to say you're wrong - quite the contrary - I'm pointing 
out to whomever it may concern that the docs need polishing :)

I've also seen the docs mention that these files are imported in order, so I 
understand, and will change this. Presumably, I can do a simple "mv" on the 
file. Lemme know if this is not the case.

Right - and I plan to use this in the future to make disaster recovery, moving 
of services/machines as simple and brainless as humanly possible. The first 
step, though, was to get the import right before I go automating it ;-) 

Did any of your coding allow for a "userSchema" keyword in the config file, 
for which I could've just put the path to my schema file? That would be nice, 
but I don't remember seeing it. I did see that I could specify an ldif file, 
but attempts to put schema extensions in that ldif file have, so far, failed. 

thanks, 
brian.
