Shell Script to Convert *.schema Files to *.ldif

[nutznboltz]

Binary package hint: ubuntu-docs

The OpenLDAP Server Documentation at

http://doc.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/serverguide/C/openldap-server.html

Has a five-step section starting with "Adding additional schemas to slapd requires the schema to be converted to LDIF format."

Those five steps can be greatly simplified by using a shell script to do the work.

See this forum post for the script and how to use it:

The Ubuntu Documentation team has moved the serverguide out of the ubuntu-docs source, it is now under the serverguide project. Moving this bug accordingly.

Providing shell scripts in documentation is too error prone. I'm going to have to mark this as 'Won't Fix'. Sorry.
