From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.4.1) Gecko/20031030 Description of problem: On my RedHat 9 you could add mail aliases to the LDAP directory when using LDAP for authentication etc. When migrating the LDAP directory from RH9 to Fedora I ran into the following problem: The objectclass nisMailAlias and rfc822MailMember attribute are no longer present. I had to take the rfc822-MailMember.schema file from the /etc/openldap/schema/redhat directory of a RH9 box (and add it to the slapd.conf file) to enable storage of mail aliases (The PADL.com conversion scripts also fail) Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): openldap-2.1.22-8 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.slapcat of a LDAP directory containing mail aliases 2.slapadd of the LDIF file on a Fedora box 3. Actual Results: Error message Expected Results: No errors and a filled LDAP directory Additional info:
I think this bug is similar to bug 109656.
Oop Sorry According to changelog * Sat Sep 13 2003 Nalin Dahyabhai <nalin> 2.1.22-6 - drop rfc822-MailMember.schema, merged into upstream misc.schema at some point So this might be the solution.
You're right. Adding include /etc/openldap/schema/misc.schema to slapd.conf also solves the problem. Question is if this should be done by default (or at least included in the docs)
Add my vote for making this the default, since it preserves compatibility with previous behaviour.
