Re: comparison does not work

[Bing Du <du...@mo...>]

The schema says:

attributetype ( 1.3.6.1.4.1.4391.0.303 NAME 'majorSuppress'
        SYNTAX 1.3.6.1.4.1.1466.115.121.1.7 )

Comparing with other attribute definitions, I noticed that this one did
not have 'EQUALITY' or 'SUBSTR' or ... as specificed in
others.  Wondering if this was the cause of the problem that comparison 
did not work.   Time to bug our directory administrators?
