Hi all. I'm new using openldap. I googled all info related with it. I decided to extend a ldap schema. but it didn't work.  The error message is the following:

adding new entry "cn=Gerald W. Cummings,ou=people,dc=example,dc=com"

ldap_add: Undefined attribute type (17)

additional info: businessName: attribute type undefined

I had that error with the following files:

#new object schema

objectClass     ( 1.3.6.1.4.1.4203.666.1.100

    NAME 'YoLinuxPerson'

        DESC 'X-Person'

    SUP inetOrgPerson

    STRUCTURAL

        MAY  ( personStatus $ preferredEmail $ mail2 $

               businessName $ xmozillanickname $

               birthdate $ c )

        )

Both files are inside of the schema folder with the same right that other files to run ldpap deamon without problem.

ldap.conf file

#Global section

##Include the minimum schema required.

include /usr/local/etc/openldap/schema/core.schema

##Added to support the inetOrgPerson object.

include /usr/local/etc/openldap/schema/cosine.schema

include /usr/local/etc/openldap/schema/inteorgperson.schema

#testing schemas

include /usr/local/etc/openldap/schema/new-object.schema

include /usr/local/etc/openldap/schema/new-attributes.schema

What did I wrong?
