If not, then you may be able to import your data into an up-to-date server without doing anything to the schema. (Assuming that you don't have binary data or funny character sets anyway...) OpenLDAP 1.x is really really old. It did not enforce the newer rules about objectclasses, so you may find violations, particularly if you have entries with both pilotPerson and inetOrgPerson. These must be fixed in the data before you can import. If you have local additions to the schema you will need to create a new-format schema file and include it in the config. It is not that hard if you start with an existing example. Put the attributes first and the objectclasses at the end. Don't forget to allocate new OIDs. Don't try to copy LDBM files to a new machine. They were fragile enough to start with! Take that LDIF and just try to import it on a 2.4.x server. If you get errors then look at those individually.
