I'd added a schema[1] while the server is running via cn=config. Its classes becomes inmediatly available as expected. When I restart the server those classes are not available anymore. There is no obvious error in debugging info. The slapd.d/cn=config/cn=include{4}.ldif is still here. If i use the conf file instead of the conf dir, the schema classes are available always. I'm using version 2.3.38. Please let me know is there any other specific info I should include. Regards, maykel [1] http://www.bayour.com/openldap/schemas/qmail.schema
