Hi, folks,

     I thought this would be as simple as moving *.ldif files from our old directory server's schema directory to the new one, but this appears not to be working.

What "brand" of directory server are you moving from? IIRC there might be some format differences between the schema in some directories compared to 389-ds. 

Also what makes you think it's "not working"? Does your imported schema appear in cn=schema if you query it?

Also, where are you moving it to exactly?  Did you restart the server or run the schema reload task afterwards?

     I suspect this is a deep subject, so I'll stop here.

Thanks,
