Bug 18418 – nis.schema broken in openldap-2.0.27-r2?

• Status: RESOLVED INVALID
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Derek Belrose 2003-03-29 01:17:32 UTC]

I'm trying to setup an openldap daemon for authentication and when placing
/etc/openldap/schema/nis.schema in slapd.conf I get the following error:

* Starting ldap-server...
/etc/openldap/schema/nis.schema: line 193: AttributeType not found: "manager"  
                                                   [ !! ]

I'm following the whitepaper for openldap from
http://www.metaconsultancy.com/whitepapers/ldap.htm and it mentions to include it.  

Anyone else experience this error?

Nevermind, I figured it out.  

The whitepaper was missing a schema that had to be included.  I apologize for this erroneous report.

You also have to include the cosine.schema, when using nis :)

That's exactly what I did :)

Oh didn't saw your reply ^^ so please close the bug ;D

I don't have the option to close this, possible Nick, who this is assigned to, has to do it now.

I can't close it :(

Long-overdue closing of this bug.  Marking as "invalid" since, amazingly
enough, we didn't botch it up this time!
