Using ldapmodify for individual entries is painful in the extreme, since
each entry only has a single attribute...basically a monster string with
all the schema constraints in it.
What are you talking about? A schema entry under cn=config has individual
attribute values per schema element. Editing individual schema elements is
far more useful than deleting the entire schema and reloading it.
