In the nis schema, posixGroup is defined as structural but I need it to be auxiliary.

Is it possible to change that definition? My database is completely empty - I've literally uninstalled OpenLDAP and then reinstalled it in an attempt to try and find a clean way of solving my problem.

Alternatively - and perhaps better since I'm a bit worried about changing *just* that one thing - is it possible for me to export the slapd configuration in a way that I can then edit the configuration to replace nis with rfc2037bis and create everything afresh? Unfortunately, because the installation on Ubuntu does all of the slapd configuration automatically, I don't know what parameters are being specified.

Many thanks for any help or suggestions provided.
