I was familiar configuring openldap with slapd.conf ver 2.3 I recently install 2.4 and am having a bear of a time trying to follow any instructions from any source... man pages, openldap.org, and https://help.ubuntu.com/10.04/serverguide/C/samba-ldap.html
This part is nerve racking on the ubuntu site... after I generate part 3, part 4 says... ########################## 4. Edit the generated /tmp/cn=samba.ldif file, changing the following attributes:
dn: cn=samba,cn=schema,cn=config ... cn: samba ##########################
but it does not say what I should change the attributes too... just gives an example that is (in my opinion poor) for a beginner like my self.
Honestly, why they don't either: 1)Provide extra schema in LDIF format as well or 2)Provide a script that converts schema correctly for you.
You can find pre-converted schema files here:

Following instructions and learning seemed so much easier with 2.3
You can still use slapd.conf on 2.4 if you wish. Although Debian/Ubuntu make it harder than it should actually be ...
