Why is there no simple way to add new schema's to cn=3D3DConfig? As in, s= =3D omething
like "slapadd --schema newschema.schema".

Eh? New schemas can be added directly using slapadd, or using ldapadd.

The best explanation I found on how to add a new schema is
http://www.zytrax.com/books/ldap/ch6/slapd-con= =3D fig.html#use-schemas. You have to
create a conf file, a new directory, run a command, edit a file, and then r=3D un
another command. That's a lot of places where user error could break th=3D ings.

Your first mistake is in trusting anything that Zytrax says. Most of their =3D information is out of date or flat wrong.
