that depends on the LDAP server you use.
Here are two examples I know:
* With Novell eDirectory 85.x, you have to extend the cn=3Dschema entry.
  This can be done with ICE (Novell's tool) or ldapmodify using an LDIF f=
ile
  or programmatically with Net::LDAP
* With OpenLDAP, you have to write a schema definition file and include=20
  it into slapd.conf
  Generating a schema definition file from an existing LDIF is quite easy=
:
  Usually it is sufficient to strip "es:" from the "attributetypes:" and
  "objectclasses:" strings in the file.
  Unfortunately Net::LDAP does not (not yes ?) support the parsing or wri=
ting
  of those files ;-(

Yours
Peter
